K-12 Literacy

A wealth of data is available on school performance. Since the national goal has been to have all students reading at grade level by the end of third grade, we are showing the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) scores given in the fall of the fourth grade year.

 

This chart shows that all of the listed Greater Grand Rapids area schools Met or Exceeded the Fall 2006 MEAP 4th Grand Reading Standards.
