[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has MCPS done away with the 3 tranches of schools for local norming - high, medium and low farms?  I just find it hard to believe that if they had to average the top 15% of students across all high SES schools, that the result would be 98/99%.  I would totally believe it for individual small schools like Carderock or Bannockburn.[/quote]

Very doubtful since there is a significant cohort, not too dissimilar, of highly able students in every middle school cluster. In fact, Pyle MS, which is in a high SES area and a W-feeder, has fewer highly able students than you'd expect because so many of their top students are enrolled in private school. This is according to a 2017-2018 survey by MCPS. It's a myth that high SES elementary schools, and W-feeders in general, have significantly more high MAP-scoring students than non-W-feeder elementary schools. And it's certainly a myth that most students in any particular elementary school score 98/99 percentile on MAP.[/quote]

Not sure what you mean by Pyle because it has by far the highest number of highly able students according to at least one measure according to the only data points MCPS has published. Are you saying they should be even more? I guess if all the private school kids were at the public? I guess that's fair.
