[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As you don’t know what the minimum MAP-R score was, you do not know whether they meet the criteria or not.  From past experience, all the parents I know that raged at MCPS for leaving their kid out of the pool find that they did not, in fact, met the criteria.

Of course if they did make a mistake they will be added to the pool for any waitlist places, but that’s unlikely.[/quote]

My child’s score was well above the stated minimum. [/quote]

There is no "stated minimum.". They don't publish what the different MAP score cutoffs are for each school grouping.  If you're saying "I saw the words 85th percentile and assumed that means that if my child is well above the national/district-wide 85th percentile then they made the cutoff," you are incorrect.  In some cases the cutoff is far above the 85th percentile and in others it's far below.[/quote]

I am confident my child meets the cutoff. Period. [/quote]

You’re guessing then. So do you want to share her stats if you’re so confident?[/quote]

Nope, not guessing and not sharing “stats”. The intent of my thread isn’t to prove to you that my kid is eligible, it is to determine what can be done to address the error. I have submitted an appeal form and will be calling the central office tomorrow. [/quote]

Gl OP. We had a similar issue with one of our kids and it was never fixed. [/quote]
