Is there a school of creative data interpretation they're sending principals to now?
Maybe my principal can give your principal the bogus preliminary norms for the MAP test. Then they can tell you her scores are 81% and 77% when the actual scores are 99% and 98%.
Word to the wise: If you get a handwritten MAP score, ask for the printout with the NWEA logo at the top. Trust but verify!
I hope you have better luck getting this addressed than I did. I got a letter back from the district assessment coordinator that "the choices that schools make regarding which reports to use is a school decision." I guess it's only pushy parents who care whether the data is accurate or not.
