The grade level/subject level norms star on page 37, which is page 44 in the PDF, interestingly, they don't go above the 95th percentile.

These seem to be off the last school years testing cycle. The FCPS information sent home does not include the RIT scores, which is a measure of growth. I know my kid took the MAP last year as a 7th grader in the fall and spring but we never saw a document comparing the fall and spring scores and nothing in the document from this year provides me a RIT score.

Most kids entering AAP will have scores above the 95th percentile. The wealthier the school you are at, the higher those scores are going to be. 99th percentile in the nation might not be 99th percentile in FCPS, it might be 95th percentile.

And while this is the first time many ES kids are taking the MAP, there will be kids with scores in the 290's and into the 300's because the test is inherently, a math test. It is structured a bit differently then the iReady and other standardized assessments, but it is a math test. Kids were given problems based on their grade level and the test adjusted what problems the kids got based on their answers. I would expect that most kids in AAP will be in the 275s or higher on the MAP. Those are the scores that show above average learning and start to really push into high performance in the next grade levels material. But that is pure conjecture on my part.

I've got no clue how the test is scored, but my 4th grade AAP student got something like 235 and it said the max score was like 238 or something? Kid was in the 99th percentile. So I don't know if a score in the 290s is possible. (Then again, if it's an adaptive test maybe the max # of points is different per kid?)
