Posted March 7, 2004

I attended Johannesburg-Lewiston Elementary as well as one year in the middle school, I feel I got the best of my education in this school. I was sorry to leave but my parents and I moved to Arizona at the end of sixth grade, I was in the Johannesburg-Lewiston Elementary and Middle schools from 1993 until 2000, (kindergarten-6th grade). I have never met a better group of teachers and other staff since I moved from the district.

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.
