[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess some things is that OP might be asking if based on current standards, would their kid be eligible for the current magnet programs.  Not necessarily if their kid will be able to get in when the time comes.

One issue to point out to OP is that if anyone is reviewing your kid's application, I don't think they will know or care if your student had any supplemental math or not.  They'll just look at scores.

We knew students who scored in the 270s in fifth grade and they did get into the middle school magnet programs.

I don't know if it would qualify for high school magnet programs.

One thing another poster pointed out before is that the MAP baseline scores go up as students take more advanced math classes.  And by 8th grade, the MAP scores aren't a real good indicator for things anymore.  I think from what I can tell, this part might be true.[/quote]

OP here. Could you explain about why MAP-M will not be a good indicator in 8th grade? What should we be looking into then? My kid was stuck in the 260s in 6th grade but after taking Algebra the score did go up like you say.[/quote]
