Mississippi’s MAAP is a state assessment program tied to Mississippi state standards rather than a multi-state shared framework. I could not reliably access a primary blueprint PDF through the provided assessment page because the site blocked direct retrieval, so the structure below is limited to the official assessment family and standards basis I could verify from Mississippi sources and known state assessment design.
MAAP uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).
