Woodland is definetly not a place to send a child with learning difficulties. I mean that with all my heart. If your child is struggling academically, PLEASE, for your child's sake find a better school. I am going through it with my child now and she will not be returning to this school next yr.

After spending 2 1/2 years at a charter school trying to get help for my daughter, we transferd to Woodland and she started receiving all of the help she needed before she was completly enrolled. We love Woodland.

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.
