Measures students' knowledge and achievement in five areas: math, reading, science, social studies, and writing. Michigan's MEAP tests are based on the Model Core Curriculum Outcomes and the Content Standards approved by the Michigan State Board of Education. Michigan's MEAP tests results are reported as performance against a standard. Performance is judged according to whether or not the student has met the achievement standard. The MEAP test is the only common measure given statewide to all students. It is important to keep in mind that a MEAP score is only one achievement measure at one point in time. MEAP results should be considered along with other achievement measures, and should be viewed in local context.
MEAP – A FOUR LETTER WORD?Michigan Educational Assessment Program
MEAP Results• Due to changes in the MEAP nearly
every year, trend data is merely impossible. The following data represents a comparison for the MEAP 2007 test results between Hillsdale County and the State. Love it or hate it, the MEAP is standardized across the State and comparing HD to MI is a valid comparison.

Education uses graduation rates to estimate the percentage of grade 9 students who complete and graduate from high school. This is computed by multiplying the 4 retention rates for grades 9-12. Retention rates are the district dropout rate subtracted from 100.

Wisdom?• When I was a boy of fourteen, my
father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Mark
Twain
Oh to do it all again
If I had my child to raise over again
I'd build self-esteem first and the house later
I'd finger paint more and point the finger less
I would do less correcting and more connecting
I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes
I would care to know less and know to care more
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites
I'd stop playing serious and seriously play
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars
I'd do more hugging and less tugging
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often
I would be firm less often and affirm much more
I'd model less about the love of power
And more about the power of love.
Diane Loomans
