A 242 cutoff in MAP Math means the pool was made up of 98 precent scorers and above. I think a lottery that uses such a high cutoff is fair, or at least as fair as we can get given the difficulties of this past year and considering that MAP tests for exposure and not innate intelligence.

The FAQ posted by MCPS says the cutoff was 85th percentile.  DCUM posters willing to list their kids' scores may not be representative of all students in the pool.

[quote]To be placed in the humanities and communication lottery pool, an A in both reading and writing and an indication of above reading grade level on the report card from Grade 4, and a locally normed minimum of 85th percentile on either last year (winter) or this year’s (fall) MAP-R.  For math, science or computer science, an A in both math and science and an indication of on level or higher for reading on the report card from Grade 4 and a locally normed minimum of 85th percentile on either last year (winter) or this year’s (fall) MAP-M.
