MAP^®, short for Measures of Academic Progress®, is a nationally normed, computer-adaptive assessment tool for personalized learning.  La Porte ISD K-8 students are assessed 3 times a year in Reading, Math & select grades in Science.  

What information does MAP Growth provide?

• RIT Score: The RIT score reflects the student’s academic knowledge, skills, and abilities regardless of grade level.  Scores over time can be compared to tell how much growth a student has made, similar to measuring height of a student over time.
• Instructional Areas: The RIT Score is broken into 3-4 instructional areas to help pinpoint the topic and skills your student is ready to learn as well as topics that might need a little support.
• Achievement Percentile - Shows how well your student performs in a subject compared to students in the same grade level with the same number of weeks of instruction.
• Growth Percentile – Shows the measure of your child's personal progress over a year or from one administration to another compared to students with the same starting RIT score.
