[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people are comparing CogAT scores in detail, but only mentioning PARCC scores in passing (saying their child got 5s). My child isn’t an outlier on CogAT, but is an outlier on PARCC (over 840 out of a possible 850 on both sections and got an 849 ELA first time taking the test; scored far higher on the reading portion than the MCPS average). My point is that not all kids who got 5s on PARCC actually scored the same. If we take MCPS’s word that they don’t give more weight to any one data point than any other, this may explain how my child was recommended for the program at MLK without having the highest CogAT scores (although child was 99% nationally and 93% compared to MCPS on verbal reasoning). It’s just a theory; I’ll never really know why my kid was offered a magnet seat.[/quote]

840/850 PARCC is not that impressive. Many kids score perfect on those tests. [/quote]

Of course it’s not unheard of, but no, there aren’t “many” who do. Take a look at the published statistics.[/quote]

+1 in addition to parcc scores, there are report card grades, district assetments, cohort studies, cogat (both national and mcps percentiles), several years worth of maps scores, in all honesty it's the whole package, mcps is looking for a well rounded kid with consistent high scores to accept into the middle school magnet program.
