Third Grade Reading Proficiency |
|
Why it Matters: Michigan's Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test measures student achievement in math, science, reading, social studies and writing. This measure tells us how many third graders are proficient in reading, which is an early predictor of future academic success.

Updated Annually in February
Note: In order to more accurately reflect career and college readiness, the Michigan Department of Education will use more rigorous proficiency calculations (cut scores) for key subject matter areas. The new cut scores will be applied to MEAP and MME tests administered during the 2011 - 2012 school year. To ease the transition to the new cut scores, student performance information for the past four years of testing has been recalculated. Although the student performance information has not changed and is valid as it was reported at the time, this display shows performance information based on the new cut scores.
* Economic disadvantage is measured by eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch. We compare statewide overall performance to statewide economically disadvantaged performance to make sure we focus on providing a high-quality education and equal opportunities for learning to all students.
