MEAP/MME Scores
The When's and Why's.
Each year students across the state participate in the state mandated Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) testing or the Michigan Merit Exam (MME). UCS students are no different.
These tests measure English Language Arts (reading and writing), mathematics and science and social studies – depending on the student’s grade level. The results provide a “snapshot” of achievement, allowing educators to identify both strengths and weaknesses and make adjustments to provide future success.
So how does this affect your student? Find your child’s grade level for quick answers:
- Third, fourth and seventh : MEAP testing in English Language Arts and mathematics. Students were tested between Oct. 14-30th, 2008.
- Fifth and eighth : MEAP testing in English Language Arts, mathematics, science. The above students were tested between Oct. 14-30th, 2008.
- Sixth : English Language Arts, mathematics and social studies. Students were tested between Oct. 14-30th, 2008.
- Ninth : Social studies. Students were tested between Oct. 14-30th, 2008.
- Eleventh : MME tests are administered to students in eleventh grade. This test also provides a college reportable score via the ACT component of the exam. This test was administered March 10-12, 2009.
UCS students regularly score above both state and county averages. The district averages 80 percent proficiency in the MEAP testing and many of our individual school classrooms have already reached 100 percent proficiency in many of the testing areas. We believe that this success is due to our strong relationship with students, staff and parents.
As they become available, we post results on the website, so be sure to visit this page again! In the meantime, feel free to review last year’s results by choosing the school of interest on the right.
