[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students receiving certain services (FARMS, EML/ESOL, 504, IEP) have had an allowance to qualify with what appears to be a 70th percentile locally normed MAP score instead of 85th.[/quote]

OP, ignore this. It’s not true. They say that they take these things into account but in no way have they confirmed a specific lower percentile and I know several people with kids with IEPs and 504 plans who were well about 85th percentile nationally and didn’t get in the pool (assuming that 85th is way above 70th locally in a medium poverty school)[/quote]

+1 Same. DC's friend with a 504 with 90th or higher percentile scores at DC's school was not in the pool. DC was in the pool but has 99th percentile scores so we have no idea of the cut off. Low poverty school.[/quote]

If so, it's possible that the low-FARMS band has scores such that 90th percentile nationally is under 70th percentile for that band (local norming).[/quote]

And it’s also more likely that the claims of a cut off that is based on a guess are completely wrong and just a guess.[/quote]
