@mecreature, thanks. Carmel Clay School district

@Loy58, this was her 2nd time taking MAP. The first time she took MAP in the Fall she got a 204 which put her at the 83rd percentile. In fact because of her initial score we signed up for IXL and she's been devouring it, even jumping into 5th grade work, but I suggested she may not want to get too far ahead of herself (is that good,bad?).

I have researched the correlation between MAP scores and various state standards and from what I've seen (e.g. Colorado https://www.nwea.org/content/uploads/2014/08/CO-Linking-Study-March-2010.pdf) her scores would put her in the "Advanced" category in other school systems.

Also, generally speaking, is it better to get a B in an advanced/challenge program than it is to get an A in a standard course?
