Parents, educators will see drop in student ratings, not scores
Parents and educators across Michigan will see a significant drop in the number of students scoring "proficient" on statewide assessments this year due to changes in the"cut scores" recently approved by the State Board of Education. The drop is not due to students' scoring lower on the test, but rather, the line drawn where students are considered "advanced, proficient, partially proficient, or not proficient"
The Jackson County Intermediate School District and local school districts are working together to communicate and explain these changes to parents and the community.
If you have any further questions about Michigan's new cut scores and what they mean to your student or your school, please contact Susan Townsend (susan.townsend@jcisd.org or 517-990-3612) at the JCISD, your district superintendent or your school principal.
