2nd Round of MAP Testing in Reading and Math-Dec. 4-14
Important Things For You To Know about Your Child's MAP Score
- The GOAL is to INCREASE their score in both reading and math. You should always see growth.
- The MAP assessment measures both growth and proficiency (are students growing and where they need to be as compared to their grade level peers).
- You will receive a MAP report for your child in December.
- MAP reports compare your child to other children at the same grade level in the USA.
- Look at your child's percentage. Think of percentiles out of 100. So, if your child scored in the 33% percentile, that means your child is scoring above 32 students and below 76 students.
- For students in grades K5-5th, the percentile helps you as a parent know how your child will score on the SC-Ready assessment that is taken in May by our 3rd-5th grade students.
