Since they gave me those numbers and I questioned them, they've backed away saying MAP is not designed to determine placement in any sort of school program. They said if MAP results based on the 2005 Placement Guidelines were used roughly 80% of students would be �gifted.�

In addition to details about how they renormed the percentiles, I'm thinking I should ask:
1) Was the district involved in or informed of this process?
2) How will the information about the renormed percentiles be shared with other parents so they understand they do not have nationally normed data?

Any other suggestions?
