Annual Education Report (AER)

About the Annual Education Report (AER)

Annual Education Reports contain detailed data on state-provided student assessment results, accountability results, educator qualification information, civil rights information, and the state results for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Annual Education Reports generated from MI School Data are prepopulated with the required information for the state, each LEA, and each school.

Accessing AERs

To view AERs, visit www.mischooldata.org and navigate to the “K-12 Grade” menu along the top of the page, next selecting the “School Accountability” submenu, and then clicking “Annual Education Report.” The AER pages on MI School Data provide cover letter templates and allow local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools to download or capture the link to their required, compiled school performance data from the most recent school year (2022-23). You must be logged in access the cover letter templates and to download/link the most recent data. When used as designed, cover letter templates and data generated from the MI School Data AER page meet state and federal requirements for annual reporting to parents and communities.
