[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With universal screening, does it mean someone will receive a letter with scores in single digit (e.g. 5% National, 1% MCPS)? That one is really hurting..... Can someone from DCUM post this if they receive scores like these?[/quote] No universal screening, [b]only a portion of potentially high scorers took the test[/b]. [/quote] Yes, and only the students who took the test are included in the MCPS percentile... and the students in a school with "similar" socio-economic stats. So, the MCPS group is much smaller and is a "selective" group to begin with, which explains why MCPS percentiles are typically lower than national where it includes all students of the same age/grade who took the same test at a similar time. Many systems use the test system wide with all students, so not just a selected group of high performing students. [/quote]
