Greetings from Rayen Early College Middle School!
This document will help you prepare your child to take the MAP Growth test. Please be available at the following times to support your child’s testing:
9/21& 9/22 ELA
9/24 & 9/25 Math
9/28 & 9/29 Science
What is MAP Growth?
MAP Growth helps teachers understand what students know today, so goals can be set to improve growth throughout the year. Students cannot pass or fail this test.
This test will not affect grades. In fact, it’s normal for students to only answer about half the questions correctly. Please don’t help them!
Given the challenges of learning from home, MAP Growth test results are especially helpful for us this year. These results will help us know what students are ready to learn.
Scholars will take the assessments during their class periods.
