[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are actual 90th percentile numeric scores (RIT?) for Fall 2020 and spring 2021 for Map M in compacted math 4/5? Do they use 4th or 5th grade scores?[/quote]

I was told that they needed a score of 220 (Fall of 4th grade) or 238 (spring of 4th grade). My kid exceeded the 220 in the fall, so she met this criteria even tho she only pulled a 236 in the spring. When I commented that the 238 seemed quite high for a 4th grader, I was told that they were expected to working a year ahead of their math class, so they put the score at a 6th grade level.

Also needed As every quarter. You needed certain score on every single assessment during the year.  I can't remember if that was a 4 or 5 (with 5 being the highest) or a percentage. [/quote]

Thanks for your insight, but once again it leaves me confused. The 6th grade level fall 90th percentile is 235, not 220. The 6th grade level spring 90th percentile is 245, not 238. I'm just not understanding who or how someone came up with 220 and 238. These specific cutoffs are baffling. [/quote]

I'm the poster you're responding to and I totally agree that the cutoffs are puzzling. The 220 was 94% for 4th grade for the fall and the 238 is 96%. They're raising the bar with that second number for sure. And neither number is 90%. It is more of the MCPS Smoke and Mirrors Show![/quote]

Are those percentiles off? My 3rd grader scored a 221 in the Spring MAP-M, and it was in the 92nd percentile. How can a 220 be the 94th percentile in fall of 4th? Or is there just a summer slide that makes scores go down from spring of one year to fall of the next?[/quote]
