[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is EXACTLY what MCPS wanted to achieve by creating percentiles within SES bands. The average person is now totally confused about the fact that a child can score "99%" in a low SES band, but really have a score in the 80s when compared to the entire district. Now we have all of the "high performers" that we could possibly want![/quote] There's no evidence of this happening, by the way. I have a kid admitted to TPMS with a 99% in a low SES band. They are also 99% nationally, and within their SAS. Now, MCPS doesn't actually show "compared to the entire district" but it stands to reason that a kid who is at 99% nationally is definitely not "in the 80s" when compared to the entire district.
