St. Clair Shores Meap Results

St. Clair Shores schools saw mixed scores in recently released MEAP scores.

Many schools in St. Clair Shores saw steady performance in the annual Michigan Educational Assessment Program, according to fall 2011 test scores released Wednesday by the Michigan Department of Education.

However, declines from previous years for districts across Michigan may be attributed to the state's newly adopted cut scores.

In September 2011, the State Board of Education adopted new cut scores, or performance measures, for the MEAP test that would better reflect how well schools are preparing students for each grade level and whether all Michigan students are progressing at the rate necessary for them to be career- and college-ready by high school graduation.

These more rigorous cut scores were applied for the first time to the 2011 MEAP results released today, and for comparison.

Each fall, third- through eighth-grade students across the state are tested in five subject areas, and their performance defined as advanced, proficient, partially proficient, or not proficient. Students who achieve advanced, or proficient ratings “pass” the test.

On a state level, upward of 60 percent of students in each tested grade achieved an advanced or proficient rating on the reading portion of the test, while less than 40 percent of students achieved proficiency in mathematics.

In science, tested in grades five and eight, the percentage of students proficient statewide was less than 20 percent and actually decreased from 2010 to 2011 in fifth grade.

Writing, tested in grades four and seven, also saw a decrease statewide, while social studies scores stayed fairly constant.

"We have a lot of room to grow, but this is a positive step," said state Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan, in a prepared statement. "I am very confident that we have professionals in our classrooms who will continue to step up to the challenge of preparing our students to achieve at higher levels."
