[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC, a current TPMS magnet 8th grader, has been spending  a lot more time on non-magnet courses (Spanish and English) than magnet courses (math, computer and sciences).

Here is DC's data

MAP-M down 7 points from 5th Spring to 8th Fall
MAP-R up 16 points from 5th Spring to 8th Fall

I believe DC has benefited a lot more from non-magnet courses than magnet courses.     [/quote]

Why do you think that is? Is the math class too easy for your child?[/quote]

NP my guess is that you max out around 240-250 on MAP Math. There was probably more room for growth with the MAP-R.[/quote]

Map M won’t max out at 240-250. A lot of kids score 290+. That’s where the true plateau is.

Map R usually max out around 250 at the end of elementary school, and has more room to go.

The max RIT score for both map m and map r is 350.[/quote]

Why don’t you google it? This isn’t true. The test administrators themselves consider 250s to be a top score. Sure you can score higher but 1) 350 is not possible and 2) anything above 250 is considered maxing out.[/quote]

You are incorrect.  See this information on the NWEA website (the makers of the MAP test): https://nwea.jiveon.com/docs/DOC-1651
YOu may have been looking at information from the MAP tests for lower grades (K-2 or 2-5).  Here's a slightly older document with some information about maximum scores: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1nA_PlvjvwFTi5vMwRxlfmmVUJo63pfwn67ZAMHaV4oU
