[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People lie and/or exaggerate. The median map r scores for Eastern magnet historically has been 234/235, which is the 94th percentile for Spring 5th grade. My child's compacted math 5/6 teacher left the fall 2017 map scores on her desk while conducting parent teacher meetings. I admit that I looked out of curiosity and noted that only a few kids scored over 260 on MAP M. Most of the kids were in the 230s to 250s. This was at one of the schools mentioned often on this board.[/quote]

Were these 260+ selected to TP?[/quote]

2 of them went to TP.  [/quote]

Were they the two who scored the highest on the MAP-M?  Were there others below 260 who got in to TPMS?  Or do you think MCPS does not really distinguish beyond a certain cutoff?[/quote]

I don't remember if they were the highest score of the 3 or 4 students who scored the highest in the Fall.  However, I do remember that they were the [b]only 2[/b] that were admitted to TPMS and both scored over 260.  My child told me that they also scored in the 99% on the CogAt test. I don't think the children lied to my child about their score.  My child also scored 99% but had a lower MAP M score in the low 250s, which was also 99% for Fall MAP M 5th grade.

The process last year was not transparent but thought I add my observations about the probable role of MAP scores. [/quote]

Thanks for sharing![/quote]
