[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lay it on me DCUM, fairly new to the area and my kid scored a 239 on reading and 231 on math just now for MAP. No prep/extra outside of school tutoring and generally above average student but nothing too spectacular.

How are those scores? Are we out of the running for magnet MS (not that interested but curious)? Is my kid doomed for failure? Give me those spicy comments   :twisted: [/quote]

My kid got 210 on reading and 214 on math so your kid seems to be doing great to me![/quote]

Your child is also doing fantastic and that's where they should be.  MAP in elementary are easier to get higher scores if you work ahead, especially in math.  We always supplemented math so I suspect that's why ours has the higher score.  If we didn't supplement I suspect it would be lower. [/quote]

Thank you for this. I was feeling a bit inadequate after reading this thread. Your post helped![/quote]

Our kids who are doing as well as we are posting are NOT the norm. Either really good genetics/IQ, supplementing or really good school or all.  Your child is exactly on target and I'd be thrilled with those scores just as I am with mine higher. They are doing great.  The important thing is they are on target grade level.  Anything above middle of the pack is fantastic.  Anything in the bottom 1/3 I'd be worried and supplement/get a tutor if you can.

We've always done workbooks till recently.  We didn't like all the work arounds taught in MCPS and wanted traditional math as it worked better for our child as well as math facts (not necessarily for increased test scores or Magnet programs).  I think that's the reason for the higher score.  Our MCPS elementary offered nothing outside compacted math in 4/5 but other schools do which may also account for the higher scores as well.  Its basically working a bit ahead.[/quote]
