You know, now that I think about my response, I realize that you already have some data with the MAP scores. The problem is that my school doesn't do MAP scores, and so I don't know very much about them. Are the achievement type test scores or IQ scores? The ultimate question is how high a ceiling the MAP scores have in order to show the school what they are dealing with here. My child took the Iowa Basic Skills Test and the Cog Apt in first grade for entrance into the gifted program. But even though he scored off the charts on these tests, the school did not understand what he need in order to be challenged. Those tests did not go high enough to show where he was. The school merely looked at the results, said 'Wow, he is a bright boy!" and continued doing what they were doing. After all, they think that they do a fine job teaching bright kids. Somehow you have to get them to admit that sometimes kids need more than the average serving size of learning.
So, bottom line is... I don't quite know enough about MAP scores to be able to say anything intelligent. How is that for a conclusion!
