[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tea on Fall MAP 6+ scores for advanced students  in 5th/6th grade, from the future TMZ writers in my neighborhood

230-260 for kids in Compacted 5/6
250-280 for kids in AMP 7+ / AIM
270-290+ for kids in Algebra

Advanced Students tend to score higher than higher-grade-level students enrolled in the same course level.
This is likely an artefact of MCPS being conservative in accelerating/advancing students.

The 5th graders did not report falling off their growth curve compared to past years' MAP-M 3-5 score trends

It’s obvious these MAP 6+ scores are inflated compared to national norms. 290+ is in the 99 percentile of 12th graders and indicates mastery way beyond Algebra.[/quote]

My kid got low 270s at the start of geometry and that was enough to get him into the Blair magnet. It should not be a cut off for algebra readiness.[/quote]

Seems about right. Your kid did AIM 2 years previous to that, so probably had about 250s back then.  For the same class, the cutoff for a younger student should be higher than for a older student, because there are more risk that the  younger student is closer to their personal limit of growth rate.
