Agree. MCPS and national averages are only apart by one percentage point as stated on the MAP report. But my bigger issue is that people peg so much on a particular MAP score when 1) they correlate to SES, 2) fall MAP scores are suspect due to kids having taken them at home over zoom, and 3) their reliability is tainted by tutors, outside classes and other such exposures. Outlier scores are suspect because MAP tests knowledge, not potential.[/quote]

They used to publish a bar graph with the MAP scores that compared county to national mean. MCPS was always about 3% higher. So 98% would be more like 95% if the data that MCPS published was accurate.[/quote]

That sounds a lot like 99% national on the CogAT being in the range from 97%-99% for MCPS. [/quote]

[b]For the CogAT 98% National was more like 92%-95% MCPS[/b].[/quote]

No, the CogAT 98% National was 92-95% of the selected MCPS students who took the test, who had already been screened before being invited to test. You're not comparing the same types of pools.[/quote]

Regardless, it aligns with the data that MCPS published showing that their mean was a few points higher than the national percentile. [/quote]
