[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For tests like map that result in higher scores for outside enrichment they are not necessarily enrolling smarter kids or those with more aptitude. This would reward parents for pushing their kids ahead ...[/quote]

Have 50% more students like Pyle also impacts the number of highly able students at a school.[/quote]

Absolutely! It is interesting though looking at Pyle to see that they seemed to have a larger percentage of students doing well on the state assessments relative to their "highly able" MAP and Cogat numbers of students. [/quote]

Yes Pyle had 60 something of their 1500 students whereas Frost had 70 of their 1100 students. [/quote]

I was looking at Cogat vs PARCC numbers.   At most middle schools they were quite similar.   Not so at a couple.   [/quote]

They're all pretty similar but a few may be a few percent higher.[/quote]co

I'm not articulating this well, let me try again. From the chart showing "highly able" students by MS posted earlier in this thread, Pyle has almost twice as many students meeting the "highly able" PARCC standard as it does meeting the "highly able" MAP or CoGAT standard.  Almost all the other MS have about the same number of highly ables in the MAP, and especially, the CoGAT columns as they do in the PARCC columns.  I know Pyle is a much bigger school - but am stumped why the proportions don't track there.  Some magic teaching to the PARCC tests?  [/quote]

Yes, Pyle has a high number by virtue of the fact the school is twice has 50% more students than most other schools, but as a percentage is noticeably lower than many other schools.[/quote]
