Overall the quality of education is great!! As with most Flint Schools, Parent participation is the key. The Challege Program is valuable asset. Not much available in the extracurricular activities, of course due to funding. Overall, highly recommended.

I went to Doyle Ryder from K-6 . I graduated from High School in 2000. Doyle Ryder was the best school that I went to. The teachers there were excellent and the Principal was wonderful. I never had an experience close to what I had in elementary school at Doyle Ryder.

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.
