My kids are in h.s. now, but did MAP for 3 years in middle school. Although the kids *could* see there scores at the end of testing, we received an official looking report each year, so the OPs situation sounds strange to me too.
But what I wanted to add is that it also seems strange that the school would do a retake in the case of negative growth. Our dd always had a big gain in reading over the *summer*, and declines during the school year. I used the data to argue that the school was not teaching her anything :-) However, I think the fact of the matter is that for kids near the ceiling, which she always was, the ability of the test to detect growth is diminished, and the zigzagging of the scores over time is just random noise.
