Footnotes:
¹ Percent Proficient represents individual students with passing scores on reading, mathematics, and science tests.
² 11-12 scores reflect a new scoring system implemented by the State of Michigan
³ ACT scores are reported in the year a given cohort graduates, which is not necessarily the same year the test was taken.
(For example, for the ACT Composite of 21.9 reported in 2009-10, the majority of these students took the assessment during the 2008-9 school year).
⁴ Graduation rate information takes two years to be calculated by the State. Community High School is excluded in these figures.
⁵ Past years reflect actual graduates, current and future years represent those students declaring candidacy.
⁶ Reflects average percentile rank of reading, math tests grades 3-8
