[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should compare to 1 year ago, not to one season ago. 230ish is what 4th grade compacted should be.
So if those scores are accurate, it shows kids who weren't accelerating at home before this year, maybe had summer learning loss,  but caught up quickly in the fall.

Do you really think that all compacted math kids are 99th percentile? They are not. There is a range of kids in the compacted math class. If everyone was in 230’s that would make everyone in the 90th ish percentile. Which is why such huge jumps for everyone seem suspicious.[/quote]

DP.  230, which the PP posited as being appropriate for Winter MAP-M for those in Math 4/5, would be between 94th and 95th %ile for 4th graders nationally and between 83rd and 84th %ile for 5th graders.

Given the criteria for placement in the elementary accelerated Math classes and the blend of 4th- & 5th-grade curricula in those, I don't think something close to 230 [i]as an average[/i] expected for such a class is particularly far fetched.  The hypothesis as to the cause for the lower fall scores being that the students in the class weren't studying over the summer and caught up quickly in the fall also isn't far fetched, though alternate hypotheses may make sense if presented.  We probably can't get certainty beyond that level of conjecture.[/quote]
