MAP Growth is a computer-adaptive assessment, which means the difficulty of questions changes according to the student’s answers. The goal is to measure what a student knows now and what they are ready to learn next. MAP scores can be different depending on the student’s grade, subject, and testing season. For this reason, parents should use grade-specific MAP score chart 2026 when reviewing a child’s results. For the 2026–2027 school year, schools are using the updated 2025 MAP Growth norms. These norms provide national comparison data used to interpret MAP scores by grade level, testing season, and subject. The updated norms reflect more recent student performance data and changes in the educational environment. What Do MAP Scores by Grade Mean? MAP Growth results are reported using the RIT scale. RIT stands for Rasch Unit. It is an equal-interval scale, similar to the marks on a ruler, so a ten-point increase represents the same amount of measured growth at different points on the scale. A RIT score should not be interpreted by itself. Parents should compare it with: The student’s grade The subject tested The Fall, Winter, or Spring testing season The national grade-level mean The student’s achievement percentile Growth between testing periods A student's score can have a different meaning depending on the grade and subject. This is why there is no single MAP score that can be considered good for every student. MAP Math Scores by Grade MAP math scores show a student's achievement and growth in mathematics. Because MAP Growth is computer-adaptive, the assessment adjusts the difficulty of questions based on the student's answers. Parents can compare a child's math RIT score with other students in the same grade and testing season. Looking at results from Fall, Winter, and Spring can also help families understand whether the student is making progress during the school year. MAP Reading Scores by Grade MAP reading scores provide information about a student's reading achievement and growth. Like the math assessment, MAP Reading uses computer-adaptive questions to measure a student's current level. Parents should consider grade level and testing season when reviewing a reading score. Comparing a student's results across multiple testing periods can provide a better understanding of academic growth than looking at one score alone. What Is an Achievement Percentile? An achievement percentile shows how a student performed compared with students in the same grade nationally. For example, a percentile rank of 72 means the student scored as well as or better than approximately 72 percent of comparable students. A percentile is not the same as a percentage score. A growth percentile is different. It shows how a student's progress compares with students who had similar starting scores. What Changed in the New MAP Norms? The RIT scale itself has not changed, but the national reference points have. NWEA's 2025 norms provide updated comparison data based on more recent student performance. The 2025 norms generally reflect lower national achievement than the previous 2020 norms, with larger differences among lower-performing students. As a result, the same RIT score may now correspond to a somewhat different percentile than it did under the older norms. This is why families should use current NWEA MAP score charts for 2026 and 2027 rather than relying on older charts found online. Find MAP Scores by Grade Level Parents can view updated NWEA MAP scores by grade level, MAP score charts, national averages, percentile ranges, and typical Fall, Winter, and Spring scores at ReadyScores.com. The charts make it easier to compare a child's score with students in the same grade and testing season. Separate information is available for MAP reading scores, MAP math scores, language usage, and science. Parents should remember that one score does not tell the full story. The MAP Growth Family Report combines achievement, growth, and projected proficiency so families can see both current performance and progress over time.
