My DD, now in the Blair stem magnet had a 216 Map-R in the fall of grade 2 and a 226 in the winter of grade 2. She always fell in the 99th percentile.

Not really. There are kids that are strong in LA but on grade level or slightly ahead of grade level for math in AAP. Those kids end up struggling with the math in the class. Kids who are strong in math but not in LA are placed in advanced math, while kids who are strong in LA and not math have no place to go so they end up in AAP.

Most AAP kids are several grade levels above their peers.

No a 78 percentile is not a good indicator for advanced math.

My 2nd grader got a 212 (99th%) on the MAP test this year.

I am the original poster. Scored 98th percentile on NNAT and we will see on NGAT. Scored 700 out of 720 on the VALLSS assessment (just received.)

Map Math Fall scores on page 50 but it stops at 95th percentile, which is a 185, which seems low to me but that is from last year, it has the fall, spring, and winter scores.

This appears to be school wide score percentiles. Individual percentiles is on the previous page, 198 is 95th percentile for 2nd grade.

My child is in grade 2 and scored a 185 on her Math MAP which is 78th percentile. However, all of her categories are in the 190 range (“high”) except geometry/measurement which is apparently a common area for kids that age to struggle since they haven’t done much. Even with her percentile, but having all but one category high, would that be a good indicator on AAP? She also scored 98th percentile on NNAT in grade 1 and grade 2 they just took NGAT so don’t know…

Here is the score quick sheet.

The fall mean last year was a 173 for second grade. A 190 indicates an above average kid but not advanced. I am guessing most AAP kids will be in the 220 or higher on the MAP, just like I expect that the AAP kids were in the 95th percentile for the iReady or higher.

Isn't 95th percentile for 2nd grade around 200?

A 190 is not that much higher than a 185, the 190 might be in the 80th percentile. The 2020 average MAP score charts (yes, I know older ones) show the average math score for 2nd grade was a 175 in the fall and 189. A 190 average is slightly above the norm. That is not going to stack up well against the 220's and higher that are going to be in the AAP pool.

Her MAP score does not show me a kid who is advanced in math and needs to be in a faster moving math class. It looks to me that this is a kid who is on grade level with a solid understanding.

She might have a chance if she is more of a kid advanced in LA, the committee is prone to putting the high LA kids in AAP because there is no advanced LA option like there is advanced math. But then the LA strong kids struggle with math in AAP.

MAP is new this year but in the past, Iready was not broken down by sub category. I think you really will need to put together a strong math sample to counter this score.

The MAP is a more specific math test. It is telling you that she is on grade level, maybe a bit ahead. There is nothing wrong with that.
