[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What score is considered 85 percent of winter MAP R score? [/quote]

The national norm 85th percentile MAP-R RIT score for winter of 3rd grade  is 211.  There should be a new set of norms for the next 5-year period.

That doesn't mean 211 is qualifying for the CES lottery.  Local norms are used, grouping schools into 5 FARMS-rate bands and, essentially, identifying an 85th percentile among the students across the schools in each band.  They haven't published these numbers in a few years, only doing so to answer an MPIA request by MCCPTA GEC, and they change from year to year based on the actual set of student scores that year.  It may be that the locally normed 85th percentile in the low-FARMS grouping ends up being the same RIT score that would equate to a national percentile in the high 90s (somewhere north, perhaps well north, of 220).

There is an adjusted/lower qualifying locally normed percentile (70th has been suggested from a prior  MCPS presentation to the BOE, but that could have changed) for students receiving services (IEP, 504, ELD & individual FARMS status).  All qualifying students must have As in reading and in either writing or social studies, and an "on" or "above" reading level on their 2nd quarter report card, per the FAQ.

There's a huge number of posts on the topic.  Please search for those if there is any further detail desired about the lottery qualification paradigm.[/quote]
