Bridge Magazine ranked schools based on several factors, the methodology, and data analysis, independently developed by Public Sector Consultants, a public policy research firm in Lansing, takes into account the impact of poverty by analyzing how districts across Michigan perform compared with districts of similar socioeconomic levels.
The school breakdown is as follows:
Elementary 315 out of 2203
Middle School - 829 out of 2203 this is based on 6th, 7th, and 8th grade
High School - 163 out of 674
These scores are noteworthy, any time you are able to score in the top third of all schools in the State of Michigan. Our goal is to be #1! I know the students and staff are working very hard to accomplish this goal! We want our students to continue to learn locally and compete globally!
