[quote=Anonymous][quote]The 99.99999 is about the MAP scores. Its pretty easy to score at 99% in MAP because the % is nation wide. One kid might be 99% at 205 and another kid might be 99% at 260. The kid with 260 clearly is more advanced.

Perhaps, it is but one thing we know for certain is MCPS MAP scores are not that different than the national scores because they actually publish this.

People on DCUM like to believe that MCPS kids are lighteyars ahead but they really aen't.[/quote]

MCPS as a whole is not that different from the national norm but the highest performers are not equally spread out across the county. Cold Spring and its feeder schools have a disproportionate amount of high performers, You're basically an outlier on the low end of the spectrum there with a 98% and will be receiving intensive catch up services. I'm joking about the last part ..but not that much. It is unbelievable how many K show up reading years above grade level and having math skills equal to 3rd grade level. Many kids are bilingual with correct grammar in both languages. Kids of immigrants go to full day Saturday school in their home language. These schools teach math, language, writing and some science without diluting them so the kids who are already very smart also get a supplemental classroom education. [/quote]
