[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are adjusting the MCPS percentile depending on which school the kid attends, it's not a percentile and they should say that clearly in the letter. It's kinda mean to make someone thing they're not doing well compared to others, when in fact they might be doing great.[/quote] MCPS, in my possibly ill informed opinion, may be trying to make the parents of high performing kids in high SES schools think their kids aren’t as bright as they are (and hence not in need of more advanced instruction).[/quote] I'm sure that's why they released this scores this year. There was a lot of complaining last year that 99th percentile (national) kids not making it into the CES but when you are in the Cold Spring catchment area, for example, your MCPS percentile might actually be 94th or 95th which helps explain to parents that other 99th percentile kids had higher raw scores.[/quote]
