Math MAP score for 7th grade daughter=270 Reading MAP score for 7th grade daughter=250 Science scores= 241,240. What percentile, grade level, etc, are these scores. Also, I think they have been called RIT scores. I'm not sure about that, though.

According to the 2008 Status norms (RIT Values) -
Math - 270 is not even listed as a mean or median through grade 11. Reading - 250 also not even listed as a mean or median through grade 11. Science - both scores way off the 2008 norms, not listed through grade 11
I also have "2005 Placement Guidelines" - Spring
For grade 7 -
Math - Gifted- 255
Reading - Gifted - 239
I also have 2008 "Comparative Data to Inform Instruction Decisions" - showing higher achievement, NWEA Median, and lower achievement
Math -249 as higher achievement Reading -236 as higher achievement General Science -225 as higher achievement Science Concepts and Processes - 224 as higher achievement
Very impressive scores!

Ditto! I looked up her percentiles using the 2008 Norms here: http://pickens.it.schoolfusion.us/m...ssionid=14d1e9266e4482d198ebc39c6e6bc9c3Using the table on page 131, her reading 249 RIT puts her at the 98% of 11th graders. Using the table on page 143, her math RIT of 270 puts her at the 97% of 11th graders. Using the table on page 149, her science RIT of 241 puts her at the 99% of 10th graders (they don't have any 11th grade data).

Thanks, too. I need to a bit of math advocacy and the entire report was helpful.

You're welcome and I'm glad it's helping others. I consider this the silver lining in the cloud of frustration I experienced last fall. That's when I was given inaccurate Norms for DD6's MAP test as justification for not including her in the gifted pullout.
Good luck with your advocacy. It's good to know this information can help shed light on the progress of students who are well above or below grade level. This is effectively invisible under testing systems that are limited to grade level.

Theres not really anything going on. We come from a HIGHLY prestigious district. (3-4 people in her grade hit above 2000 on the SAT, and 2 scored above 2200. And actually, she feels that her scores are bad, but I want to reassure her that all those kids took prep classes) She was among a good three or four (or more) kids who scored above 250. (although 255 was the highest she had heard). According to her, the teacher just looked at her, gave her the "WOW! thats reaallly good" thing and it was over. So, no, they aren't supplementing anything.

Too bad they're not cluster grouping with compacting and differentiating opportunities for these kids. Sigh...
