[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone so interested in these reports anyway?  Do you not basically know how your kid is doing in school from MAP results and grades and the like?  The MCAP scores only really matter for a few classes in high school, right?   And I thought that people generally think the tests aren't a great reflection of actual knowledge and proficiency?

(I mean, I understand that they should be available sooner just for the principle of the thing, but am I missing some reason why it's important to know ASAP?)[/quote]

No one is asking to know "ASAP."  Last year the test results were provided by MCPS to parents nearly a year later.  [/quote]

They came home in October last year, didn't they?  I think some schools waited a long time to send but I'm pretty sure MCPS got them to schools by October and some schools sent them home then.  That's nowhere near a year.[/quote]

For my kid, they came in April.  Others on this thread have reported similar lags in receiving results.  If it were October, I wouldn’t be complaining.[/quote]

That sounds like your individual school screwed things up?  [/quote]

And the individual schools of everyone else on this thread?  Just because you insist something happened at your school, doesn't make it so.  There have been many threads on this MCPS forum that talk about the extreme lag in distributing MCAP scores.  [b]My bet is you're a central office troll and making things up.[/b][/quote]

Mine too.[/quote]
