[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they have a clear explanation of how they do the local norming of the MAP scores? [/quote] What is the percent cutoff this year for the map scores, last year was 85%.[/quote] Yes it was the top 15% but that was the top 15% of a local school which may be a bit higher or lower than national or county norms.[/quote] IMO, 15% is too high. My DC is top 15% and would have struggled at TPMS. My other DC has always been top 2%+, and that DC is in magnet and doing great. No outside prep. MCPS is setting some of these kids up for failure. One of two things will have to happen: 1. a lot of hand holding by the teachers or 2. dumbing things down.[/quote]
