What this means: About 43% of students here test proficient in math and reading, compared with the roughly 48% typical for Michigan schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among Michigan's top nor bottom 10%.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

From the Zemmer Campus 89 community.How to read these scores
What is M-STEP?
Michigan public-school students in grades 3 through 8 take the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) each spring in English Language Arts and Math. Science is added at grades 5, 8, and 11; Social Studies at grades 5, 8, and 11. High school students take the SAT and PSAT as part of the state assessment system.
What does "% Advanced + Proficient" mean?
It is the percentage of students at the school whose scores were "Proficient" or "Advanced" on M-STEP — the top 2 of 4 performance levels (Not Proficient, Partially Proficient, Proficient, Advanced). Proficient and above is Michigan's grade-level benchmark. A higher number is better.
How should I read a single score?
Each percent represents the share of tested students who performed at grade level or above. Compare the school number against the state, district, and county averages on this page to see whether it is above or below typical.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Michigan, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Michigan Department of Education / Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI), Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP), via the MI School Data "Request School Data File" portal (mischooldata.org). School-level All Students subgroup. Headline metric is the cumulative "Advanced + Proficient" rate (top 2 of 4 M-STEP levels: Advanced, Proficient, Partially Proficient, Not Proficient).
How often is it updated?
M-STEP is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
