NEW MAP STUDENT SCORE REPORTS
Why has the report been revised?
1. Assessment purpose must be clear.
2. Assessment value must exceed instructional time lost.
3. Assessment mechanics should not impact value.
4. Assessments must be fair and support equity.

The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) is a computer-adaptive assessment; therefore, each new question is based
on the child’s previous response. MAP assessments are designed to measure a student's academic performance and
growth from test to test in the areas of reading and mathematics. Students in grades 1 and 2 take the tests three times
a year – fall, winter, and spring. Students in grades 3 through 8 take the tests in fall and winter, while kindergarten
students take the tests in winter and spring.
BCPS uses MAP assessments to monitor student growth at the school and system levels. The results are not used as part
of student grades. No single test can give a full picture of your student’s knowledge and skills. Along with other test
results, quizzes, class work, teacher observations, and other measures, MAP results will help BCPS make the best
possible instructional decisions for each student.

Student Score:
Growth Target:
actual score your student received on the assessment
number of points students with the same score and grade level (nationally) increased from one
test administration to the next.
Actual Growth
number of points your student’s score increased by from one test administration to another
District Average: average student score for BCPS students in the same grade as your student
National Average: average student score for students in a national sample of students in the same grade as your
student
Percentile Rank:
how your student is performing compared to other students in the same grade nationally; for
example, if a student’s percentile rank was 40, the student scored at least as well as 40 percent
of other students in the same grade across the country. This is not the percentage of correct
answers
Lexile Range:
measure of a student’s achievement in reading as it relates to the difficulty level of various
books. The Lexile Web site, http://www.lexile.com, has more information about the Lexile score
and provides a list of books that fall within a Lexile range.
GOAL AREAS:
Each MAP is made up of parts called goal areas. These goal areas are aligned to the new Common Core State Standards
(CCSS). Goal areas are reported as percentile ranks so that you can see if your child has areas that may be strong or
weak.
