[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does the section under the HOPE rating - "Please indicate all content areas where the students show ....." imply?  Do full time AAP eligible students usually have checks against the boxes next to the subjects (Math, Writing, Reading,...) ?  Do these boxes indicate subject level AAP recommendations?  [/quote]

DD has boxes checked for math, writing, reading, science, and social studies, and the comment underneath noted that she made significant growth on her winter MAP math assessment (she's in the 87th percentile).

She gets 4s and some 3s on her report cards.[/quote]

The 87th percentile on the MAP is not a kid who should have the math box checked unless they are at a Title 1 school. That is a good overall score but a low score for even Advanced Math, never mind AAP. Toss in 3's on the report card and that is not a kid who I would think would be accepted into AAP.[/quote]

I’m curious about MAP percentiles and advanced ability, though I may be wrong. Since MAP is adaptive, students who do well get harder questions, so those in the 99th percentile are likely working above 2nd-grade level. Doesn't this imply some exposure to extra math outside school? If so, MAP shouldn’t be a strict cutoff - it’s just another data point, and teachers should be able to override it if they see great potential. Otherwise, it puts talented kids who don’t have extra math at home at a disadvantage.[/quote]
