[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids with inattentive ADHD. One is in 5th grade, one in 7th grade in MCPS. The 5th grader has never done well on standardized tests. This child apparently does not meet grade level expectations for MAP scores for either math or literacy. However, this child has all A’s for grades in academic subjects. The 7th grader does very well on MAP tests (scores in the high 90s) but struggles with class grades (mostly Bs, Cs, and sometimes a D). To me, this tells me the MAP tests are mostly meaningless and not an accurate assessment of grade level knowledge. Have you had kids with either of these types of profiles? I don’t know how worried I should be. I think the tests and schoolwork represent their strengths and weaknesses with executive function skills. [/quote]
