MAP Testing

MAP Assessments are given to all students enrolled in Algebra 1 and Geometry. At RRHS, the assessment is administered during class time within the following three test windows:

  • Fall: August 28 - September 19, 2023

  • Winter: January 8 - January 29, 2024

  • Spring: April 1 - April 23, 2024

MAP results are used by teachers to assist students in setting growth goals, differentiate instruction based on student strengths/needs, and monitor student progress throughout the year. Building administrators use results to identify the knowledge and skill levels of students in a classroom or grade and plan for professional development based on patterns in instructional strengths and needs. MAP results are used by central office staff to identify program strengths and needs and to assess the implementation and impact of LCPS initiatives. 

For more information please use the LCPS OAS Website, or contact our Math Department Chair Megan Berger.
