[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My second grader got a 681 on it. The ranges the school gave me for him (in case it’s grade specific) are 593-646 high risk, 647-664, moderate risk, and 665-720 low risk. We also got his individual scores for each section of the test. He struggled the most with encoding (spelling) which makes sense because ACPS doesn’t really teach spelling from what I’ve seen. From what I understand this test is a screener and is only looking for kids that need intervention. So topping out or being low risk just means you don’t need intervention.

FWIW he did very well on MAP which does give percentiles and which covers academic knowledge and skills. ACPS sent a very detailed report on that too.[/quote]

Where did you find the individual scores for each section?[/quote]

It was on the same score report I got for ACPS. I didn’t get much explanation and some sub scores were blank which wasn’t explained. My MAP score report came with an explainer video which was very helpful. For that we also got a category breakdown. Also got a lexile range for reading. I found VALLSS fairly meaningless once I read about it since DS was low risk (would have been more meaningful otherwise)—MAP felt like a much better understanding of what does my kid know and how does he fare compared to others in ACPS and nationwide.[/quote]
