Not the question asked but nice humble brag [/quote]

I don’t think it is a humble brag. Just 2 data points and based on what I know about the students, lots of kids have scores in this range. I think most are 90+ percentile. I would be shocked if the median was lower than 90 percentile [/quote]Lol.  That's not how percentiles work.[/quote]

The percentiles are for all kids who took it. For an independent school, the median absolutely could be in the 90+ percentile

For a strong public school, the same could be true. [/quote]

I’ve had my kids in both private and public schools and have never seen MAP tests reported against a single school.  When we were at private, scores were reported against a consortia of schools in the region, and public schools report against other county schools or the region if the county is small. [/quote]

Our school gives us the averages by grade. [/quote]
MAP percentiles are national, but obviously individual schools have access to their students' scores and can compare how their own students are doing compared to the national average. MAP may provide other percentiles comparing a student against a regional norm, other independent schools, or some other collection, but this data is not readily available to parents. [/quote]
