[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That report is from the samples, not from all the MCPS students. So it is possible that the max score in the report is not really the MAX.[/quote]

It's at least 10,000 kids per grade in the sample (see first column in Table 5) --- all kids who took spring MAP-R and PARCC ELA that year.  It's possible there's a kid who took MAP-R but not PARCC and isn't in the sample group, but the general idea still stands that a MAP-R of 288 in the spring of 4th grade would be an extreme outlier, both on the national norms (5.5 standard deviations above the mean using current norms, or one in 10 million) and within MCPS (4.6 SD above the mean using the data in that report, which is from 2014-15, or ~5 in a million).[/quote]

I agree it's rare but I don't buy that MCPS is that much higher than the national norms based on the charts they've published. What are you looking at that indicates otherwise? The data in my child's map report shows the district average as being maybe 2%-3% higher than the national.[/quote]

MCPS publishes how their scores stack up to national norms on the PDF they provide with your kid's scores. It's not substantially higher just slightly so.[/quote]
