[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone get into the pool with MAP-M scores at 240 or below?[/quote]

The 2020 NWEA norms (next norms don't come out until 2025, IIRC) for MAP-M in the fall of 5th grade show 60th %ile at 213 (MCPS locally-normed 85th %ile for high-FARMS schools, at least for last year) and 93rd %ile at 232 (for low-FARMS schools).  There were three FARMS-rate gradations in between -- RIT scores of 215, 224 & 230.  As long as there were As in Math & Science in the first quarter and an on-grade-level or above reading level reported in the same, a student with these scores/higher should have been put in the pool.  Some students receiving services (FARMS, themselves, IEP, 504, EML) may have been placed in the pool with additional adjustments (unpublished/not made available to the public).

For MAP-R, high-FARMS cutoff last year was 70th %ile at 213 and low-FARMS was 92nd %ile at 228 (though the published RIT for that %ile is 227).  The gradations in between were 216, 224 and 228 (no locally-normed reading differential between low-FARMS and low-moderate-FATMS).  As in Q1 Reading & Writing and an above-grade-level reading level reported that quarter are also required.  Adjustments are made for those receiveing services.

I doubt the RIT numbers changed much for this year, though the FARMS rates of individual schools may have put them in a different tranche.
