[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as the objective qualification criteria are high (eg, relevant MAP scores are at least 90 percentile “A”), the students should be able to handle the rigor.

In my child’s compacted math class, for example, it is those students with a lowered bar who have been struggling and the teacher adjusted the class so that it is less rigorous. There should be no exceptions to high criteria.

Those who feel their kids need more rigor can do dual enrollment or continue to enrich outside of class like they’ve always done.[/quote]
grades are meaningless due to grade inflation, and the subjective nature of grading.

COGAT tests for reasoning and predict learning ability, so a student who may not have gotten good grades for whatever reason could still score high on the COGAT.   But, usually, a student who scores high on the COGAT would score high on MAP.

MAP is only used for academic progress. COGAT is normally used to identify "advanced" or "gifted" learners.
