[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My very good math kid in 5th grade got a 275 in MAP -M (and that was not an aberration based on prior scores) and then got a 255 in 6th grade.  Probably had a bad day, but kid also said that there were lots of questions that kid had no idea what they were talking about, very different from elementary MAP-M.  I'm not worried, just adding some information. [/quote]

DS just took MAP-M and experienced a similar drop, 270-something in 5th to 259 in 6th. His teacher told the class most kids experience a drop in 6th because the test has changed, and the 6+ MAP-M test is more challenging than the 2-5 MAP-M. His classmate went from a 282 to 240-something this year, his best friend dropped from 250 to 232. This is anecdotal of course, but seems possible.[/quote]

OP here again-Exactly, thank you for chiming in- 6th grade MAP-M is quite challenging- there were questions on trigonometry that DC has yet not learnt. The fifth grade MAP -M in 265 dropped to 255. Not concerned as the in class grades are all perfect and there have been no challenges in learning Magnet IM. 
Those who are being sarcastic about MAP M scores ranging from 250-294 for magnet class, I wonder what are the MAP M scores for high achieving sixth graders at non magnet schools- considering it is the same MAP-M for magnet and non magnet kids.

OP, my kid and a number of his classmates rejected due to the "peer cohort" criteria had higher metrics than yours (MAP-M scores in the 270s and 280s, 99% across the board in other metrics). My suggestion is that you stay away from these kinds of thread topics, and certainly don't start them. I'm sure all the admitted kids are very smart and will do a great job in the MS magnet program, but the lack of transparency in admissions and the lack of a comparably enriched curriculum at the home schools for "peer cohorts" has many parents feeling quite angry about the process. Everyone knows there are not enough seats for the qualified students, so please just let it be.
