Data Point Boxes in Growth over Time Chart
With the 2020 norms, you were able to see the details in black boxes when you click on the data points in the Growth over Time (trend data) chart. With the 2025 norms, that information is not there anymore. Can you please add the data back into the boxes as it's helpful and efficient to look up previous information for the historical data. Thanks!

Family Reports
Please allow us to upload the family reports by school also not just individually by teacher. It will save so much time when we need all the reports alphabetically. Just like we can do in the Student Progress Reports. Thanks

Session name generation
The randomly generated session name included the word "edger" which is an inappropriate slang term. It caused some mayhem when I posted it as I had misread it as being "edgar" and didn't catch it in time. I recommend removing this word from the generation options to avoid this in the future.

Remove Final "Wagging Dog" Page from Growth K-2 Test
We've noticed an issue with the Growth K-2 test. A lot of students think they’re done, but their status shows as “suspended.” They often forget to click the “Next” button when they get to the final reward or wagging dog page, which means the test doesn’t actually finish. As a result, their scores don’t show up in the report.
This makes it hard to tell who’s actually finished the test and who hasn’t, since we can’t tell if they just missed the "Next" button or didn't complete the exam. The page seems unnecessary and just adds confusion. Removing it would…

improve visual impairment accommodations
We have a child whose results will have no validity because the test does not allow for sufficient visual impairment accommodations. The test needs to allow for:
-Dark mode (white background fatigues the student's eyes)
-Sans serif font (serif font is very difficult to read with the student's impairment)
-Ability to magnify beyond 200% (graphics and math formulas sometimes require greater magnification)
-Ability to magnify charts, graphs, and answer choices (these could not be enlarged/made readable)The unsecured browser over-rode all the native Visual Impairment settings on the student's laptop and would not allow them to be re-set. Either a…

Download of standards below student's grade
A downloadable report which lists each student who missed standards below their current grade. For example, a child is in 6th grade, but failed to answer standards from 3rd and 4th grade. The download would consist of the student's name and grade as well as those standards - could be listed by MN Standard's codes - they missed. IXL builds a plan for the student, but that plan is based on their RIT. I need to know the standards they missed which were much lower than the overall RIT.

New Batch Family Report is cumbersome
Bring back the old Family Report, please! The new Batch Family Report exports as a zip folder, where each individual student's file has to be opened in order to print. I have 300+ reports to print, and opening each student one at a time is not effective or efficient. The old report allowed users to run and print a whole class at a time with page breaks.

Family Report Printed by Instructors
Please allow teachers/instructors to print the Family Report again. The Batch Print zip file is still very cumbersome to print and now individual teachers cannot print their own reports.

Improve text-to-speech
The text to speech pronounces environment incorrectly, as it pronounces the second 'n'. Also, it pronounces 20,000 as "20, zero zero zero". You could make the program run a check for whether the text says 3 numbers after a comma, or if there's just a space and 2 other characters. (Idea submitted by a student.)

Growth Data on the Class Profile Report
Having the same growth data that appears on District and School Profile appear on the Class Profile report would be extremly benefiical to teachers.

Enable TTS on Graphics and Images
Students who need TTS for all content should be able to use the embedded TTS feature within MAP - they should not have to learn to use a new tool like a screen reader just to access text in images and graphics. Screen readers will also read navigation buttons and other text on the screen that is not a part of the test item potentially creating confusion and adding cognitive load.
Please build images and graphics for test items that can be read aloud by the embedded TTS within MAP.

Ending the test is tricky.
At the end of the 2-5 elementary test, the students do not always click the final blue button. Then their data is lost in space and if it is not logged into later to click the final blue button, the data can disappear. The issue comes with using Chromebooks, and the screen does not display the final blue button and the student would have to scroll down to see it. This is often overlooked, especially in 2nd grade, because the year before they saw a cute puppy dog that said "great job". Can this button be removed and the "great…

Total testing time should be the same for all
My daughter (3rd grade) recently gave me feedback about why she doesn't look forward to these tests and I found it important to consider. When she sees her peers finishing the test before her she gets antsy to finish so she can read, draw, or do something else silently at her desk until all of her classmates are finished. The standardized way a test is administered is as important, if not more important, than the actual test questions and results. My daughter thought she was less knowledgeable and slower than the other students because she was taking longer to finish…

Update Race Codes
Our state (Maryland) requires reporting with the 2 new race codes be used for the 2026-2027 school year. The two changes made in 2024 at the Federal level include a Middle Eastern/Northern African category and making Hispanic a race and not a separate ethnicity with a race. Please update NWEA MAP to enable ingestion and reporting to include these new codes.

The Family Report - Pulls Data for students who did not participate in the current administration
When generating the Family Report for a current administration, it generates a report for students who did not participate and shows data from previous administrations. This caused a lot of confusion for our high school families who received a Winter 2026 report for students who had not been required to participate in SY25-26. The Winter 2026 reports showed data from previous administrations. It would be ideal to have setting options so that school divisions could limit the reports to students who actually participated in the current year administration.

desmos graphing calculator
For the Algebra 1, Geometry & Algebra 2 tests, I would like the Desmos graphing calculator to be available for students for all questions. This is how instruction is in the classroom, as well as what's available for all questions on the state end of year test. Please make this available for the MAP growth tests OR make it an accommodation we can turn on for our students since now even the SAT/ACT/AP exams have this built in as well.

NWEA MAPS Family Reports- Formatting is off-Blank Page
I am getting ready to print NWEA Maps Family Reports and noticed the formatting is off now. They have placed the blank page at the end, instead of the 2nd page after the whole class PDF. I have attached an example. Usually it is an easy print, double sided, but now you can't.

Questions should be made relevant to the youth of today
Many of the questions in NWEA’s MAP testing are irrelevant, boring and completely not engaging to the youth of today. Many students loose interest a few questions in, and some students click through quickly just to get the testing over with. It is likely that many children would score better if they actually found the questions they were reading interesting during the reading test. As a 7th grader with a 250 in reading and a 255 in math, I can safely say that is someone with firsthand experience of these tests, many of the questions are very outdated. During a…

Co-teacher Able to View Primary Teachers Test Session
We have many classes with a primary teacher and a special education or english learner co-teacher. It would be great if both teachers could simultaneously monitor the same test session that the primary teacher has created without having to give one of the teachers district proctor access.
We currently roster so that both teachers have access to the class within NWEA but with current functionalities only one teacher can see active test sessions at a time without having to suspend a test and start it again in another teachers session.2 votes -
When rostering, schools should be able to roster for all 3 testing sessions at the same time.
Make it so admin can roster for all testing session at one time. We should not have to roster before each session, Fall, Winter, and Spring.
