Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) is running additional analyses on the data as part of an enhanced due diligence process. Results are now tentatively scheduled to be available next week in the family and analytic portals.

Please note, STAAR Report Cards (SRCs) available in TIDE should NOT be distributed to parents prior to the results being finalized and shown in the family portal. The TEA will hold all printed SRCs until all additional data analyses have been completed and the family portal has been updated.

MAP

 

Parent’s Guide to MAP Growth

MAP Growth uses a RIT scale to accurately measure what students know, regardless of their grade level. It also measures growth over time, allowing you to track your child’s progress throughout the school year and across multiple years. Once your child completes a MAP Growth test, they receive a RIT score.

 

The RIT scale precisely measures student performance, regardless of whether they’re performing on, above, or below grade level.


MAP FAQ's

How do schools and teachers use MAP Growth scores?
Teachers can use the score to inform instruction, personalize learning, and monitor the growth of individual students. Principals and administrators can use the scores to see the performance and progress of a grade level, school, or the entire district.

How often will my child take MAP Growth tests?
DISD will provide MAP Growth tests to students at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year (in the fall, winter, and spring).

Is MAP Growth a standardized test?
Unlike a standardized test, MAP Growth is administered periodically during the school year.  Instead of asking all students the same questions, it adjusts to each child’s performance.
