[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in CES (got pulled off the wait list after 1st quarter) for 5th grade after a student moved.   She is low 90s to 97% on MAP.  Her most recent math was 87% from I can tell on the link provided earlier in the thread.   Honestly, she outperforms most of the students in class work wise since she is much more collaborative and good at motivating other students.  The teacher said she is a perfect CES candidate.  MAP percentiles have never been mentioned.  I think people need to understand that MAP is not the only criteria anymore.[/quote]
My DC attended CES a couple years ago. Always tested above 96%. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower. I remember being told that a couple kids were testing around 270 for math. I was so curious that I had to look it up. It was >95% for 1tth graders. This was for kids in the fifth grade. On the reading side, I really don't remember any scores but I do remember that one of DC's friends was a better writer than me and everyone at my office. It was incredible.

I don't know why I am telling you this because it sounds like your kid is doing great. But I think my only point is that there are kids that are just operating on another level.

This county is like Lake Woebegon sometimes, where everyone thinks their kid is special. But there are legitimately kids that are off the charts. I sincerely hope that MCPS is able to find a way to cultivate and encourage them. I imagine that school could get really boring if you were operating at a freshman in college level in the 5th Grade.[/quote]
