[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, there seems to be a mythical narrative on this board about student performance. For example, the other week there was a parent claiming that 270 was a common map-m score for the mid-4th grade. MCPS stats are slightly higher than the national average. MCPS publishes this but it's only slightly higher. 270 is not a common score, especially for 4th graders. Of course, this has happened but requires a lot of outside enrichment since kids don't teach the concepts to themselves and this isn't happening without exposure.[/quote]

I’m that pp again. I didn’t say 270 is common. I said that’s the 3rd highest score among my DC’s classmates, and I have no full knowledge of the statistics of the entire class. My DC never goes to any outside math enrichment class other than self-watching Kahn Academy, and playing prodigy as a reward in school. He is in the new math pathway and I think this helps improving his MAP score more or less.[/quote]

Your kid is an outlier.[/quote]

pp again. He is an outlier for his home school for sure, but not an outlier for CES. That's why new math pathway can be implemented to a whole class of students. They are all outliers.[/quote]

Statistically, there should be little more than 120 5th graders with scores over 253 in the entire county based on the national norms published by NWEA. Sure, MCPS may be a little higher but we're not talking more than a few dozen kids total.[/quote]

What makes you not believe that 28 or so out of the 120 kids are in Cold Spring CES? [/quote]
