Confused by this-- do you mean that only the top 5% of a class is considered to have "mastered" the curriculum?

Just in general?

Or did you mean that an average assessment of 95% in terms of the curriculum expectations is considered "mastery"?

95th percentile in the context of a nationally normed standardized test.

Thank you for the clarification. That makes sense in terms of acceleration considerations-- though on the other hand, for an administrator to use that as a measure of mastery in a class/teaching context would be inherently flawed since it would indicate that most students do not attain concept mastery.

Which, come to think of it, may be just fine if it's EveryDay Math we're discussing. whistle
