[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some kids scores 250+ at 3rd and still placed in math 4/5 at 4th grade so MAP-M score does not really matters...[/quote]

My DC scored 250+ in 3rd, but our principal said they had to take compacted 4/5. In 6th, they scored 285, but our school doesn't allow kids to skip, so they had to take AIM. I often wish we were at one of the WPES schools where kids can take Algebra in 5th.[/quote]

We all were wondering when the "WPES" poster would show up.  Ignore.

They post the same thing in every math thread, often with some claim about scores, to gin up discontent with that particular slant.  They've been doing it for years.  Those who haven't seen it are baited into "What's WPES?" when no such school exists so that the poster can identify it as a term for wealthy areas.

While there may be some schools in wealthy areas that are more accommodative of acceleration, it is not ubiquitous, and the real problem is that MCPS does not do a good job of identifying need for such acceleration (or providing it to those with need) with fidelity across the system.  WPES is just a distraction.[/quote]

It's because people are jealous that WPES kids have so many options for enrichment which just aren't available elsewhere.[/quote]
