[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid in CES got into eastern.  Are the MAP scores on the paper? I don’t see them anywhere. They won’t be going. It’s way too far away. Hope one of your kids gets the spot! :) [/quote]

We'd appreciate it if you could share the stats for your child. Fall 2020 MAP scores in particular.

I do wonder if they gave less weight to the fall MAP scores since those were essentially unproctored. [/quote]

I'm certain that's what they did, but it was taken into account nonetheless.

Right, but that’s what people are focusing on in this thread, and I wonder if that’s explaining some of the discrepancies. [/quote]

I have the kid with a 255 fall MAP-M who wasn’t even in the pool.  Her 4th grade winter MAP-M was 242. She has had 99th percentile MAP-M since kindergarten (score range always reported as 99-99-99). She did kind of stagnate in the 240s for a while — maybe they were looking at that. I really don’t know why she wasn’t in the pool. All As on math and science report card grades, except her school gave everyone in her class Ms in science last spring due to the school shutdown. Thinking of appealing with an explanation about that.  I know that in the end it was a lottery and there are kids with higher score who weren’t placed, but it would be nice to be in-pool and guaranteed the advanced classes at her home MS.  Also, as long as I’m venting on an anonymous board, she had the highest MAP-R I’ve seen reported here and didn’t get into Eastern from the lottery, either, so it’s feeling really unlucky.  This process stinks. So many kids who would benefit from the magnets, not enough spaces, and an opaque process.[/quote]
