Academics
In 2005-2006 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program High School Test (MEAP HST) to assess students in grades 10 through 12 in reading, science, writing, math, and social studies. The reading, science, writing and math results for grade 12 are displayed. The MEAP HST is a standards-based test, which means it 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.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
