[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others mentioned, the presentation that MCPS used to show the distribution of high performing students was flawed to begin with by using students with a 4.0.  Where an A is meaningless if it doesn't take into account the rigors of the course.

They should identify students as high performing if they met any of the following criteria for the given school year:

-met the MAP benchmark
-earned a 3 or 4 proficiency level in the MCAP ELA or Math test
-earned 3 or higher in any AP exam
-earned 4 or higher in any IB exam
-earned 530 or higher in math and 480 or higher in the ERBW in the SAT exam
-earn a 21 or higher in the ACT
-earn a 31 or higher in the AFQT for the ASVAB

This would cover more grade levels and be based on something more standardized.

And the high school level standards above are what MSDE checks to see if a student completed a well rounded curriculum.[/quote]

Just a correction, the MCAP and MAP standards should be based on tests taken in the given school year.  The high school related criteria can be based off of if they met the criteria at anytime in the past or the current school year.[/quote]
