We are also new to the NWEA system. Our 3rd Grade son had a 222 in Math and 221 in Reading which is 99% and 98%, respectively. How many actual kids take this test? Does it truly mean he is in the top 1-2%? Thanks.
Hi - sorry no one saw your post. Maybe Inky or another MAP expert will chime in, but the tables are national norms. Your kiddo tested in the top 1-2% of all kids across the nation who took the test. Some schools also have their own gauges, so depending on your student body, your kiddo may not be top 1-2% at your school. You can ask the school how its scores compare nationally. The NWEA website may have more info about how many kids take the test, but it's becoming fairly popular.
