[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So if test scores aren't a good indicator of being high achieving then why does MCPS use PARCC and MAP scores as the basis for the opposite - identifying low achieving students, and then use this as the basis for closing the achievement gap? Why not look at teacher recommendations, or whatever else criteria they are using to indicate whether a student is "high achieving"? If it's ok for them to use tests to help them identify low achieving students to give them extra help, [b]why is it not ok for them to use tests to identify very high achieving kids?[/b][/quote] They did use tests in the downcounty magnet MS admissions process. Who told you that they didn't?[/quote]
