[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's an average MAP-M score for compacted Math in winter of 5th grade?[/quote]

It varies a lot based on schools and how much outside enrichment/exposure to topics that children have received. In my 5th grade class at a Title 1 school, the average is around 235. Within the class, there are a couple of students who score as low as the low 220's (which very much matches who should absolutely not be in the class) up to my highest student scoring 250.

I know from people on this site that this is not comprable to kids in the higher SES schools, but I'm quite proud of my students. They don't get extra support at home and work so hard and their scores reflect that![/quote]

Your average is 235 at a Title 1? Something isnt adding up here for sure.[/quote]

Do you think that is high or low?

In a Compacted 5-6 class, for kids who are actually ready for 5-6 and also not doing Math 8 Prealgebra at home, that's a normal average.

An average (nearly drowning) 5th grader scores 218, so CM kids should be scoring 1-2 years higher due to compaction (exposure) and to generally being better more able math students than average.

Bright kids who are studying enrichment at home / AOPS / RSM are getting up to 255 for "grade level enriched", or higher if they are already long been on an accelerated track and are now doing prealgebra or algebra(!) classes at home.

I work at a focus school— last years bright 5th graders got 218-227 on the MAP in winter. They ended up getting accepted to TPMS magnet program FOR math,so I think the previous teacher bragging about her title one kids averaging in the 240s is just bogus.[/quote]

When DC was at a focus school, I remember their MAP-M going from 222 to 248 when they were 8 and again from 265-275 in 5th. In 6th they were scoring around 285 but didn't get picked by the lottery. [/quote]
