M-STEP reports and data are an important part of a balanced assessment system that provides Michigan schools and districts important information as they consider curriculum alignment, instructional program evaluation, and/or differences in achievement among reported student demographic subgroups.
M-STEP reports also provide the public a snapshot of Michigan students’ overall performance based on the Michigan Academic Standards. This information can be helpful to understand student learning as measured against the standards in a Michigan school or district, or to compare student performance across Michigan schools or districts.
M-STEP reports do not provide grade-level equivalency data. Criterion-referenced tests—such as M-STEP—only provide data regarding student achievement based on the measured standards. They do not make any claim regarding “grade level” performance.
