2013 School Quality Review
Excellent Schools Detroit today released its list of the top-performing kindergarten through eighth-grade schools, recommending parents send their children to these schools this coming school year. Excellent Schools Detroit also released the eight schools at the bottom of the barrel that parents should avoid. These rankings are based only on this year’s and year-over-year performance on the Michigan standardized test, the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP). [See the rankings]
Dig deeper into the top 20 and bottom eight. This spreadsheet goes into detail on how the schools stacked up.
Excellent Schools Detroit partnered with many organizations and community to develop a thorough methodology for measuring school performance. See how it works.
