That's 14/17 to 15/17 , matching previous guess.


Were there 17 questions? In ParentVue my kid’s grade says 75/100 points. Seems like the math is wrong if there were only 17 points.

Also, there’s been no correction to the gradebook. Should I be asking about the question that posters here say was scored incorrectly?

Do these scores go directly in the grade book without calibration or scaling?


Probably. My co-teacher is the one who handles the gradebook so I'll ask them tomorrow

1/4 getting C or below is well below MCPS performance against expectations for MCPS curriculum.

Looking at the scoring matrix, it does appear that there is one question that appears to have no right or wrong answer


this is so painful. Another example of why MCPS should not be writing its own curriculum.

Where do you see that? My 9th grader got a 75% which shocks me. High A’s and their fall MAP-R was 242


I am a teacher and have access to everyone in my schools scores and results
