About the Michigan Education YES! Grades

  • In 2007-2008, Michigan used the Education YES! Grades to measure school performance.
  • Education YES! Grades are based on student performance on the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) and Michigan Merit Examination (MME), whether performance is improving or declining, and the school's self-rating on Indicators of School Performance.
  • Schools receive a grade of A, B, C, D-Alert or Unaccredited.

About the Tests

  • In 2007-2008 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math, reading and writing; in grades 5 and 8 in science; and in grades 6 and 9 in social studies.
  • The MEAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
