[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]quick update. My DC who wasn’t ‘gifted’ last year due to missing data is now ‘gifted’ according to mcps. The MAP threshold for both reading and math is 80th percentile. Plus a score of 5 on some math and ELA assessments. Thought this might be helpful to someone.[/quote]

We just got it in the mail yesterday. Not surprisingly, my 2nd grader didn't make it, as she only hit the targets in math (99th percentile on MAP), not reading/ELA, and the way they set it up, 3 of 4 academic criteria means you have to have at least one in each category. Not sure it matters much though - for instance, her Dibels score was 395, with the cutoff being 423, but I know the only part where she scored below grade level was with sounding out fake words and she reads a ton, so we're not exactly concerned.[/quote]

395 is pretty low, makes sense why not GT. [/quote]

My point was that even though she was way above the math cutoff, you apparently can't be GT in either math or reading, it's both or neither. Anyway she reads chapter books and my older kid's reading scores improved dramatically in 4th grade so I don't care much.[/quote]
