[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the difference between student percentile and school percentile?
And why is the percentile shown only up to 95 and not higher?[/quote]

The student percentile is based on where they are within the population that you are comparing. You can have a class percentile, school percentile, pyramid percentile, county percentile, state percentile, national percentile.

What the student percentile shows is where that student stands within the particular comparison group. So they might have a lower percentile for their class then the county and the country if they are at a school with a lot of kids who have been attending math enrichment. It is not unusual for kids to have a lower percentile on county scores in FCPS and a higher percentile for national scores for the same test. FCPS has a lot of highly educated families who put an emphasis on education. Kids in FCPS are more likely to be doing academic enrichment at home or in programs, which will effect the scores in the County. [/quote]
