NEWS FROM DR. CHAUSSEE
MAP and Its Prediction of the State Test NSCAS
All students in Millard K-8 take the MAP test three times a year. Based on the fall scores, the organization, NWEA, that manages MAP, uses the data for students in grades 2-10 to predict how students will do on state tests, specifically in Nebraska the NSCAS. The tables below show math (top) and reading (bottom)in order. NWEA states there is a strong indication the students in the On Track and CCR Benchmarks will past the state test. If accurate, 23.7% of our students will not pass the math test and 24.7% of our students will not past the reading (ELA) portion of the NSCAS. Of course, we hope this is wrong and we have a much greater percentage pass. We now have the results which are above the prediction. In math, 85% of our students mastered (passed) the test vs. vs. the 76% prediction, and in reading 81% mastered the test vs. the 75% prediction.
