Without Blair who knows what might have happened to this child's future.

I don’t know that kid, but I was neither judging nor being “rude”. I was referring to students who would agree that it wasn’t the right fit for them.

This isn’t really true. There are two levels for virtually all kids in math. Some take functions and others take precalc in 9th. Functions basically accelerates then one more semester in math. You can also skip a semester in comp sci. Sure there might be one or two still taking geometry (or even algebra!) or conversely in analysis (calculus) in 9th, but that’s not the case for the vast majority of kids.

Before my kid attended I had this impression that the magnet was genius level kids all winning international competitions. Truly there are a couple who are truly brilliant each year, a couple who are simply in the wrong place and should never have been selected and the vast majority - 90 percent or more - are very smart kids, mostly roughly the same ability level. The ones that are both very smart and motivated/hard working are what the selection process is looking for.

I have seen in the past DCUM many students score above 300. Any parent here whose kid has more than 295 or 300, just for Curocity?

DC is at a W feeder MS. There were 3 300+scores in the Fall and 4 300+ scores in Winter. The highest Winter score was around 320

Putting aside the fact that no one got 320, how on earth would you know that? Are you the math teacher? Or an administrator at the school? If not, you absolutely do not know this,

How do you know this?

Obviously I don't have access to the scores, but top scores are often talked about. I guess you don't realize how much kids talk about this. Teachers comment on top scores also, and not only math teachers either.

It's different for more average kids where nobody cares whether someone scored 245 or 251. But this is more like sports. DC went to all state and kids from all over MD were taking about MAP scores, including very high scores they once heard someone getting.

Kids lie. I’ve heard from more than one teacher that most kids are lying about their MAP scores. As a parent I have as much knowledge as you do about how much kids talk about this.

Also I know that there is no 320 score because it’s not possible with the test. Look it up at NWEA.

LOL

It's true. Because the test has 45 question and fractional value, the rounding works out that you can get 319 or 321 but never 320.

It’s true, but not for the reasons you state. The actual max possible score is closer to 310 and that is statistically similar to 300 or even 290

Maximum score is 350.

The scale goes to 350 but NWEA makes it bet clear elsewhere on their website that a score of 350 is not possible.

the maximum score is 350. however, for that to happen the test needs to start at the hardest level questions.

the knowledge differential between 310 and 290 is pretty big. the top of the range is pretty hard to climb. DC knows several kids who have been languishing in the 305-310 range for a while.

My kid has a straight 99 (99-99-99) percentile from Kindergarten to 8th grade with error, I am happy with that but she has only 293. I assume there is a broad range in the 99 percentile. Anyone here who know what score (or range of score )is 98 percentile?

Same mom here, My daughter got selected in all four criteria based program Poolsville SMAC, Humanites, GE and RM IB. So her score is more than enough for me.

Mine got 320 in 9th grade winter MAP-M. No MAP test starting from 10th grade.
