Did your school give an explanation why seniors were tested or plan to be tested?

They don't know what to do so they just test.

They can't even explain why they test Seniors.

My kid said they stopped in 9th and none in 10th.

It identifies kids reading far below grade level that need additional support. That subgroup may get additional MAP testing in 10th & 11th grades.

Nah, they tested 10th grade students too who are not in those subgroup/s.

But HSs did administer the test not only to 9th.

Which schools?

Definitely 2 out of 25 HS

If you ask department heads, they say it is a good data point to help assist students in registering for the following year's English or Math course. But they don't COMMUNICATE that they are administering the test to 10-12th grade students, as someone upthread linked they test 9th grade students. MAP for Seniors????

If you ask a teachers they say they were told to give the test by higher ups.

Are all HS administering MAP tests to Seniors? Those that are, why? The students are on their way out so what is the damn point of giving this test to Seniors?
