The New MEAP Scores

The Michigan Department of Education released what last year’s MEAP Scores would be under the new cut scores.  The new MEAP scores really underscore the differences between buildings in our district.  Some of these differences are demographically based, but others are attributable to leadership and mentality.  These differences should be examined closely by data and education experts.  Why do some schools have many more students scoring advanced than others?  Why is there a thirty point spread meeting expectations in some subjects between schools?  These questions and others deserve answers.

The actual scores are in the rest of the article.  All numbers are percents and “Meets Expectations” is Advanced + Proficient.
