[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have a child with a reading lexile level of 1300+? What's their MAP-R?[/quote]

That would be 240-250 I'm guessing.That's well beyond the 99% for a 3rd grader.[/quote]

I responded on the first page that my kid scored 232 on the MAP-R.

Lexile "1205-1355" according to the results, so not fully over 1300.

That's all I know, though.[/quote]

Does it even matter though, given that it is a lottery?  Yes, you have to be considered qualified to enter the lottery, but once you are in, is there any differentiation between those who just made the cutoff v. those who were way above?  Similarly, does IEP or FARM matter at that point, or is it just a factor to get you into the lottery pool?[/quote]

That’s right, and that’s the drawback of the lottery. Some kids, like PPs above, really need enrichment. A Lexile score over 1300 shows a true need for accelerated learning. CES would be a benefit to many, but it is a necessity for some, and the lottery doesn’t take that into account. My son is the 227 above. The pace of learning and content at school is painfully slow for him.  It seems to me that there is probably a significant difference in need between those kids who are scoring at this level and those who make the lottery at 75th %ile, which is above average but not demonstrating a true need for acceleration.

My oldest who attended a local CES was 236 on the MAP-R and 247 on the MAP-M at the end of 3rd. I think they were somewhere in the middle for their program.[/quote]
