This is our first year at State Road Elementary and half-way through, I'm thouroughly impressed. From our teacher and principal to our crossing guards, everyone does a fantastic job. After reviewing all the stats on State Road on this website, I believe 100% that we made the best decision in elementary schools for our family.

Excellent teachers, friendly office staff and active PTO. Turnovers in principals over last few years but good leadership overall.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 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 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.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MEAP test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.
