LANSING – State Superintendent Mike Flanagan yesterday informed 27 Michigan schools that they have been taken off Priority School status, as a result of their improvements in student achievement.
“Their hard work and focus on data-driven decisions have positively impacted student achievement outcomes,” Flanagan said. “The educators in these schools are leading a transformation for the children in their classrooms.”
The 27 schools are among the first schools placed in Priority School status, back in 2010. Since then, the schools have established and implemented school redesign plans that took them out of the Bottom 5 percent of schools in the state’s Top to Bottom list; met their academic growth objectives in math and reading; and met the required 95 percent student participation rate on the state assessments.
“This is evidence that low-achieving schools can, and do, improve,” Flanagan said. “Every child wants to learn; and every child can learn. The key is finding the best strategies to help them, and staying focused on them.”
The schools now must develop and submit traditional School Improvement Plans to continue the forward progress in student achievement.
