Our DC is consistently 97-99 percentile on MAP scores but didn’t get in. What a useless county this is - 3 more years of him being bored every day I guess! At least he has compacted math.

MCPS continues to disappoint

Depends on how high or low poverty your school is, but for the ones in the middle it's generally around the 85th percentile (higher for low poverty schools, lower for high poverty schools.)


We are not a Title 1 school and my kid got into both Lottie’s with 71 and 72nd percentiles (compacted math and ELA)

Which math test did they take? Compacted math takes the MS MAP and on level math takes the grade 5 math

That must be low farm rate school, or has a B in the 5th grade math or Science.

Does it say waitlisted?


It says “remains in the lottery pool” for future vacancies and future notifications will be by email.
