This school has moved to Jefferson Ave., but it makes no difference. Remember that article a year or so back about how this school was "out of control?" Well, it still is. The students are not the problem at this school; the problem is the staff and administration do not care what the kids do. Students use Facebook, Youtube and other social networking sites while they are supposed to be doing their work. It's against the rules, but the staff just watches them do it. Students also roam the hallways and talk on their cellphones during classtime. And when an adult calls them out on such behavior, the students cuss them out, make verbal threats and completely disrespect them. And what does the staff and administration do when such behavior occurs? NOTHING!!! The people who run this school are supposed to be preparing these adolescents for acceptance into actual GRPS schools, but by allowing such actions to go on in their own building they are not teaching these kids anything positive, only giving them the impression you can do whatever you want and suffer no negative consequences. And you wonder why the GRPS gets such a bad reputation? Look no further than these kinds of schools!

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.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Michigan used the Michigan Merit Examination (MME) to assess students in grade 11 in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. The MME 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 state standard.

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 MME 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.
