[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But what about that kid who is in the 89th percentile? Are you really positive that kid can not succeed and are willing to just not include him for no other reason than ONE question on MAP testing?

The point is why is one cutoff score the end all be all? [/quote]

I've been in MCPS long enough to know that there is always flex. But we've got someone on this thread whose kids have scores in the range of 60th percentile arguing that their child should advance on (pandemic era) grades alone. That's bananas and does not end well for anyone. Moreover, I'd note that we are talking about 90th percentile nationwide. In a country that includes Baltimore, and Appalachia, and the parts of rural Idado where I grew up.

Also, I desperately want to see the overlap between folks claiming that MPCS is "watering down" the curriculum due to "equity" and people arguing that THEIR kid is different and the rules should not apply. I suspect there is substantial overlap.

If you look at the MAP reports in the document section of ParentVue, they show the difference between the nationwide an county mean.  It's not that different. [/quote]

Less than half of the US school districts use MAP, so you can't assume that they are using it in all the more challenged school districts.[/quote]
