[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a little curious as to the difference between the various MCPS percentiles across different schools.  My kid had a 97% quantitative national, but 81% percentile coming from what I think is a relatively low FARMS rate elementary school.  Is there anyone at a high FARMS rate elementary school that also had a 97% quantitative on the national scale that would be willing to share their MCPS percentile?  [/quote]

So you are expecting the MCPS percentiles to be different depending on what school the child attends? That isn’t how this works.[/quote]

That is how it works, actually, as of last year. For CES kids, I'm not 100% sure whether it is "home school" or CES school, but yes, your MCPS percentile will be different depending on the poverty rate at one of the two. [/quote]

My letter states, “...your child is being compared to MCPS students for the MCPS percentile and compared to students nationally for the national percentile.”
Is there another source of info where it indicates that the “MCPS students” mentioned are only those MCPS students at his/her home school?[/quote]
