As you should have heard, the State of Michigan is recalibrating MEAP cut scores. In essence, the test has not changed but what they consider proficient will change. The change they made is not subtle. We will see significant drops in scores across the state. Sparta Middle School will not be exempt from this drop. We will know in a few months what this will mean, exactly. You will see in the press some articles and reports that will show a comparison of previous MEAP performance under the new proficiency standard. This will attempt to represent the outcomes if the changes had been made a few years ago. This data, too, will likely be stark. I am trying to communicate this information so you can be informed and prepared. You should plan to hear more information regarding this in the coming months. Attached here is a link to a document that also communicates some of this same information. Please take some time to review this information. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
