See pages 41, 43, and 45.

Is this correct/standard for all years? my kid's report (9th grade) says 256 for Math, which her report lists as 90th percentile (well, more accurately, 87-*90*-93.
In this chart (page 41/48) it says that's over the 95%.

You have to be joking.

However the most recent MAP score for winter and spring is concerning. He scored 95 and 97 percentile respectively. Given a lot of AAP kids scoring 99+ percentile, I’m concerned if he could keep up next year.
His report card shows all 4 in math and he was taught above grade math, so I’m not sure where the problem is. What can I do this summer to help him improve the score or test taking skill?

How were you able to get your 2nd grader taught above grade math? I've never heard of that occurring before 3rd and full time or advanced math placement.

I have the same question. We are at a private school overseas and I would like to understand better what are the comparisons to schools in the US.

Don’t worry. AAP is not all that and a bag of chips. We are still waiting to see anything really clever come out of it, but there’s not.

Those scores are good enough. The trick is the reading scores also need to be high. Need to check both the boxes for full time, plus have favorable teacher ratings.

My 6th grader in AAP who only went to AAP this year sometimes only got 60th to 80th percentile on iready math back in 1st and 2nd grade. He's above the 95th percentile on the 7th grade MAP.

Chill out, it will be fine. Most kids are not in the 99th percentile in every test in AAP, aside from what this board will tell you. You can find older posts from teachers on this.

My child has scored between 93-95% on MAP plus SOL pass advanced, and honestly AAP math was a struggle this year in 4th grade. I think it was more to do with a teaching/learning style mismatch more than anything though. We had to clean up a lot at home. This was the first year there's been any issues.

He's fine. Many kids in AAP also study ahead outside via RSM etc. So they SHOULD get 99+% when they put in the work. but back in school AAP curriculum could be 1-2 years behind the 99+% kid.

It's up to you to keep at current level or spend money to get that 5% improvement but spending a lot of time/money to learn ahead.

My kid gets 99% and isn't in full time AAP. My oldest two were in AAP and (didn't take the MAP) but generally did not score that high on any testing. They did great. My experience is that AAP isn't really very hard, and most kids would be fine

It's fine. Far more than 1% of kids are in AAP. If he's not comfortable with the AAP math he can pull back.

Those percentages are based on kids doing well on questions testing material they have not seen before or have seen before in enrichment classes. DS would come home from iReadys and tell us the questions he had that he had never seen before and talk about how he figured out how to solve them. I think the MAP is similar.

Plenty of kids in AAP have MAP scores int he 99th percentile, many of them are probably doing Beast Academy at home or RSM or language school on the weekend, which includes math, or some sort of enrichment. Some kids are good with math and can figure out the answers given time to work through the problem.

A 95-97th percentile kid is going to be fine. More likely then not it is only a few questions wrong at a different point in the test. I would guess your kid piks up on math concepts quickly when they are taught to him and he will be fine in AAP. I would guess that there are a good number of kids with test scores in your kids range. Those are really strong scores, he will be fine.

We did use math enrichment but we didn't start until half way through 3rd grade during COVID when we heard what was being taught in virtual math. His iReady scores were in the 99th percentile in K-3rd, before we started math enrichment. He asked to continue and moved into math competitions and the like from 4th grade on. He is a rising 9th grader who does math for fun, he has been in RSMs math competition program since 4th grade. Their web site has a series of challenge questions and programs for the kids to do if they want. He will head down to his computer to do those when he is bored.
