At grade level MAP 99th percentile is really easy.  It is based nation wide sample.  This area is known to have many high achievers

I got my DC MAP-M score from 3rd Grade (fall) of 244 to 5th Grade of 295  --- not gifted at all  [/quote]

People say this but when MCPS released map percentiles compared to national norms they were just a bit higher.  It’s probably a fat tail at the top though due to the reason you cite.[/quote]

Not really. It's just a point or two above the national average.[/quote]

That’s correct. Folks in DCUM love to claim that everyone is 99th percentile in Montgomery county but that is absolutely laughable. The midpoint national is 50% obviously, maybe it’s 52% in MCPS. Even if PPs accept this they will fall over themselves talking about the distribution and how it must be different here. It’s not. [/quote]

The 2020 norms to which MCPS test data (and that of other school systems) is compared was constructed from samplings of test data across the nation for tests taken between fall of 2015 and spring of 2018.  None of the tests taken at that time  carried the effect of the pandemic, while every test taken by MCPS students since spring 2020 has been.

The fact that MCPS, as a whole, scores ahead of those national norms despite that pandemic-related learning deficit is indicative of much greater relative strength of the system than just a nominal 2% beat.[/quote]
