Education DashboardDashboardsDashboards & Education Focus Areas

The Education Dashboard provides a quick overview of data and information about Michigan’s public schools, districts, and regional education agencies. This dashboard makes it easy for the public to find information about schools. Metrics can be used to see how an individual school, district, ISD, or the State of Michigan as a whole is performing.

Each metric focuses on a narrow area to give an estimation of performance in a wider area. Metrics are grouped into:

• Student Outcomes
• Culture of Learning
• Value for Money
• Salary Data

Metrics are provided for both the current and prior year, allowing users to compare and see trends. Hover over the values to see when data were collected. Click on any hyperlinked metric to see more detailed data. 

The report is updated at various times throughout the year as data are available.

Historical Changes

• In school year 2020-21, there were approximately 130 sponsors that served breakfast and 150 that served lunch through the National School Lunch Program. In a non-pandemic year there are over 800 sponsors serving school meals. In school year 2020-21, most school districts in Michigan provided meals through a different child nutrition program, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which allowed schools to serve free meals to all children in Michigan. The SFSP does not collect or require data on free and reduced eligible children.
• Due to the suspension of state assessments, assessment data for the 2019-20 school year is not available for M-STEP, MI-Access, SAT, PSAT or ACT WorkKeys. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Education Department (USED) issued a waiver of the federal requirement that Michigan students take statewide summative assessments during the 2019-20 school year, as well as for waivers of related accountability and report card requirements. Executive Order 2020-65 waived state requirements for these assessments.

Education Dashboard metrics are grouped into four categories.

1. Student Outcomes
   1. Students Proficient in English Language Arts at the End of Third Grade (3rd Grade M-STEP): Shows the percentage of third graders who scored at a proficient level on the M-STEP assessment for the current school year. The M-STEP test is taken in the spring, and scores are updated in late summer.
   2. Student Academic Growth 3-8: The Michigan Department of Education calculates student growth using the Student Growth Percentile. SGP groups students with a similar score history in a given subject and compares their performance on the most recent test. The dashboard reports the average SGP for the combination all students and all subjects tested in grades 3-8.
   3. Students Proficient in Math and English Language Arts 3-8: Shows the percentage of students in grades 3-8 who scored at the proficient level or above on the M-STEP test in both math and English Language Arts.
   4. Students Proficient on M-STEP 11th grade (in all subjects):The percentage of 11th graders who scored at the proficient level or above on all subjects on the Michigan portion of the MME exam. The subjects are M-STEP English Language Arts, M-STEP Math, M-STEP Science, and M-STEP Social Studies.
   5. SAT Total Score: The SAT Total Score reported for Michigan is the combined Evidenced-Based Reading and Writing, and Math Student Score. The Total Score range is 400-1600.
   6. SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmarks: SAT Benchmarks represent the likelihood of success in entry-level college courses. The benchmark is 480 for Evidenced-Based Reading and Writing and 530 for Math. For additional information on understanding SAT scores, including the Essay scores, please visit the College Board website.
   7. 4-year Graduation Rate: The percentage of students who graduated, calculated using a four-year on-time cohort method.
   8. Dropout Rate: The percentage of students who left high school permanently, or whose whereabouts are unknown.
2. Culture of Learning
   1. Total Breakfast Participation as a Percentage of Total Lunch Participation:The number of students participating in the School Breakfast Program as compared to the number of students participating in the National School Lunch Program.
   2. Free/Reduced Lunch Participation by Eligible Students: Shows what percentage of students who are eligible for Free or Reduced Lunch are taking advantage of the program.
   3. Economically Disadvantaged Students: The percent of students who have been determined to be eligible for free or reduced-price meals via locally gathered and approved family applications under the National School Lunch program, are in households receiving food (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or cash (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) assistance, are homeless, are migrant, are in foster care, or, beginning in 2017-18, certain MEDICAID eligible children. When any of these conditions are present, a student is considered economically disadvantaged.
3. Value for Money
   1. Districts with ongoing deficits for three consecutive years: Shows whether the district has been operating with a deficit budget for the past three fiscal years. If the scorecard is set to reflect an ISD or the State level, this will show the number of districts that have operated at a deficit for three fiscal years. This is collected every year.
   2. General Fund Balance: These data are taken from the Balance Sheet file submitted through the Financial Information Database. This metric is available at the district level only.
   3. Instructional Expenditures per Pupil: The sum of expenditures in function codes 1xx and 293, divided by the pupil FTE reported for the location in the fall general collection.
   4. Average Class Size K-3: The average class size is derived from data reported to CEPI for staff and students. Staff data is taken from the Fall Registry of Educational Personnel Collection. Student data is taken from the Fall Collection of the Michigan Student Data System using audited counts of student enrollment. Both staff and student data are reported on a full-time equivalent basis for this calculation. In cases where a staff assignment spans more than grades K-3, the teachers’ FTE is proportionally allocated to the K-3 portion of the assignment. Ungraded students are not counted in this calculation. Teachers reported with an assignment in a school outside of the district that reported the teacher are counted in the school where they provide instruction. The FTE student data includes instruction provided as “shared time” in a nonpublic school setting. Similarly, teachers’ nonpublic school assignments are included.
4. Salary Data: Teacher, principal and superintendent salary information is provided by the Office of Retirement Services using salary credited for retirement through the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System. ORS provides a compensation number for each employee from which the minimum, maximum and average compensation are derived for each employee group (teacher, principal, and superintendent) by district. Compensation is defined by retirement law, Public Act 300 of 1980, MCL 38.1303(a) Sec. 3a. Salary data are updated each year in the early spring. According to ORS, individual compensation numbers can be changed during the year due to situations including previous pay period adjustments and prior period corrections. Individual compensation numbers may even change for previous school years in some scenarios; so, it is possible that when the data are refreshed for the new school year, the prior year’s data may be updated as well to represent the most accurate picture of salary data.

Student Enrollment Counts Report

The Student Enrollment Counts report provides an unduplicated headcount of students attending a specific district or school. This helps users to understand the number and composition of students attending Michigan schools, and shows how enrollment trends change over time.

Note: the report is based on pupil headcount, not full-time equivalency. This means each student is counted once, regardless of whether the student attends full-time or part-time. (For FTE data, please see the District FTE Pupil Count data files.)

The Student Count report is the basis for other reports in MI School Data such as Retained in Grade, Schools of Choice and Other Non-Resident Enrollments and Student Mobility.

The report is updated in early spring. See the Recently Posted Reports page for when the report was last updated.

Historical Changes

• After 2012-13, pre-K students are included at the district level, but not in the individual schools.
• In summer 2020 the name of this report was changed from Student Count to Student Enrollment Counts.

Use the Location and Report Settings to select a location, school year, grade and report category. Data can be filtered by categories such as race/ethnicity, gender, economically disadvantaged, English learners, students with disabilities, and Early/Middle College. Use the student type/cross tab option to cross compare by demographic categories and program participation.

Data view options include:

• Snapshot (a graph and table of the selected data)
• Trend (a graph and table showing changes over time)
• Entity Breakdown (a table shows the data for the selected entity and related entities; if you’ve selected a particular district, the Entity Breakdown would show data for that district, ISD and individual buildings within the district)

Logged-in Users

Users with secure access who are logged in can see unsuppressed numbers for the Special Education and English Learner groups for entities for which they have been specifically authorized.

The Center for Educational Performance and Information collects the data for this report through the Michigan Student Data System. Data are pulled from both the Fall General Collection and the Early Childhood Collection. For more information on the MSDS application and reporting rules, please see the MSDS Collection Details Manual on the CEPI website.

Student count data are collected on the legislated fall count day, which is the first Wednesday in October.

Only students receiving school-based services are in this report. This means Early On® and some Pre-K Special Ed students are not included. Nonpublic school students and home-schooled students are not included in the data.

This is an unduplicated count, meaning a student is counted only once, even if the student is enrolled in more than one facility. A student is included in the district selected if that district was the Primary Education Providing Entity of the student on the legislated count day.

Additionally, students from multiple districts may attend Shared Educational Entities. At the building level, data reported will appear under the operating district of the SEE. At the district level, SEE data are included in the aggregate data for the district in which the student is enrolled.

Pre-K students are included at the district level but not in the individual schools for school years after 2012-13. Therefore, school-level total enrollment will not always equal that of the district level. Pre-K students are not required to be reported at individual schools; they are only required to be reported at the district level. Pre-K students are also not included in the ISD aggregate, but they are included in the statewide counts. So ISD totals will not equal statewide in the report.

The Early Middle College and Not Early Middle College groups are calculated using students in grades 9-12 only.

During district reorganizations, school buildings are sometimes moved to different parent districts. In these cases, the building name and associated data will appear under the new district in the Location Settings hierarchy, and entity breakdown tables of the Student Enrollment Counts report. However, the aggregated district-level data will not change as a result of this. This is one scenario where building-level data that appear in the data tables will not equal aggregated district-level data.

If you have questions not addressed here or in the linked resources, please contact CEPI customer support at [email protected].

Disclosure Avoidance

To protect the privacy of individual students, CEPI applies data suppression rules to sensitive data when report settings would yield fewer than 10 students in a given group. Complementary groups may also be suppressed. In some cases, values less than 10 may be shown when there is no risk of identifying individual students. Secure users can log in to view unsuppressed data for their authorized location. Please see How CEPI Protects Education Data for more information.

5 best schools in the South-Western District of Moscow

Olympiad winners, future students of leading universities and simply interested children study here, who do not mind devoting a month of summer to solving problems in a mathematical camp. These schools are included in the 100 best schools in Moscow and occupy the first five lines in the list of the best schools in the Southwestern District, according to users of the Mela Schools service.

1. Lyceum of Information Technologies №1533

• User rating: 4.8

nine0007 Number of ratings: 32

Profile training. Education in LIT, as the students themselves call it, starts from the 5th grade. Particular attention is paid to mathematics and a foreign language. After grade 8, students choose to specialize in one of three areas in the field of information technology: programming technology, computer graphics and multimedia technologies, or applied economics. For each student, within the framework of the selected profile, an individual curriculum is drawn up. nine0003

Higher education system. The Lyceum considers it important to acquaint schoolchildren with university conditions as early as possible. Therefore, they take tests, do course projects and go to lectures and seminars instead of regular lessons. Work on projects is clearly divided into stages (application for a topic, development of a task, intermediate defenses). This is done so that schoolchildren learn to interact in groups and properly manage their personal time. At the end of the training, each student defends a diploma. The Lyceum annually hosts an award for the best graduates of the Snail Awards. The award was named after the school’s mascot, the snail. nine0003

Cooperation with universities and IT companies. Lyceum cooperates with the faculty of the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas and the faculty of the Moscow State University – this is where most of the graduates go. Together with universities, the lyceum organizes classes in system programming and robotics. In addition to universities, the lyceum cooperates with the following IT companies: Microsoft, ABBYY, 1 °C, Kaspersky Lab. Companies provide equipment that allows schoolchildren to master modern programming tools and develop web projects. nine0003

“LIT, as we call it, is our home. There is no need to pretend here, everyone can find what is interesting to him. And, of course, here we can find like-minded people. Our LIT is our family. And it is not just words! Our teachers were our friends, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. Lyceum is a place where you are always expected, at any time of the day or night, where you are always welcome, despite your behavior. Scientific conferences, reading competitions, acting competitions, annual trips, theaters, performances in orphanages, holidays for veterans – all this and much more awaits you if you open your heart to lyceum. nine0003

Natalie, graduate (2014)

“Lyceum is an amazing place. Here teachers and students are friends. This is democracy. These are interesting trips, events aimed at rallying children and getting them interested in completely different aspects of life. At the Lyceum they taught me to live life. And, of course, in addition to social life, LIT has a very strong education, and not only in the field of information technology, but also, in principle, general education subjects here are a little deeper and more complete. ” nine0003

Profile training. The school is known for its strong natural science profile. Lyceum classes of the school accept students from the 5th grade. After the 7th grade, students can choose the biological-chemical, physical-chemical or physical-mathematical directions. In grade 10, you can choose a medical or engineering profile. Advanced Chemistry Classes at 192nd school were created with the participation of Nobel laureate Nikolai Semyonov, who is considered one of the founders of chemical physics.

Higher education system. Teaching in lyceum classes is based on the lecture-seminar system. At lectures, teachers explain the theory and conduct demonstration experiments. At the seminars, students consolidate the material by solving problems and doing laboratory work. Lectures and seminars are conducted by different teachers. At the end of each semester, students take an oral exam in a core subject. Failure to pass the exam may be a reason for expulsion from the lyceum class. nine0003

Cooperation with universities. The school cooperates with the biological, chemical and medical faculties of Moscow State University, the Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and the Higher College of Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Students are engaged in research work in the laboratories of the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow State University. Universities organize scientific lectures at the school, conduct excursions, send graduate students to practice at the school, and invite students to university classes and conferences.

“School 192 favorably differs from other schools in its atmosphere. Here “one’s own” is the one who is smart, does what he loves and is friendly to others. Many newcomers quickly join the team when they see that they are already loved and respected in absentia. Graduates try to keep in touch with the school and among themselves. During the years of study 19The 2nd really becomes your family, and the knowledge gained here is then saved more than once at the university.

Sanya, graduate (2015)

“This is just a great place to develop independence (no one will run after you asking you to rewrite the control), a kind of Petri dish for students. It is very comfortable to study here both in terms of the atmosphere at the school and in terms of learning. The teachers are good, knowledgeable in their subjects, and just humanly good people.” nine0003

Pupil (grade 9)

• Number of ratings: 30

Profile training. Profile mathematical classes at the school were created back in 1958 on the basis of the Research Computing Center of Moscow State University. Then the gymnasium was known as the 52nd school with in-depth study of mathematics. Now the gymnasium accepts students from the 5th grade. After grade 7, they can choose a mathematical or humanitarian direction. AT 9-m – again a fork: some of the students continue their education in the natural science or cultural profile.

Mathematics students study mathematics, physics and computer science in depth and can obtain a programmer’s qualification upon graduation. In the humanities classes, the focus is on Russian literature, history, the study of two foreign languages ​​and the MHC. Students who choose a natural science profile are divided into two streams: a technical direction with an extended study of mathematics, computer science, physics and chemistry or a biological and chemical direction with an extended study of chemistry and biology. nine0003

The cultural department was created on the basis of the gymnasium together with the Russian State University for the Humanities. Graduates of the department receive benefits when entering some faculties of the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Cooperation with universities. The gymnasium has a tradition of holding scientific student conferences of a humanitarian and cultural orientation together with scientists from partner universities – Lomonosov Moscow State University, the Russian Academy of Education and the Russian State University for the Humanities. Most of the gymnasium graduates in 2015 and 2016 entered Moscow State University and the Higher School of Economics. nine0003

Summer practice. In the summer, students go on research and educational practices. Art criticism practice takes place in the village of Ferapontovo, Vologda Oblast, cultural practice – on Solovki, and students of the humanities classes travel to different cities of the Golden Ring, St. Petersburg and Kyiv. Natural science practice for high school students takes place in the Arkhangelsk region.

“I studied at the cultural department in grades 10-11. This school, without exaggeration, changed my life and in just two years gave me a solid foundation in the field of the humanities. A very dense and rich curriculum: in addition to the main school disciplines, there were the history of philosophy, the history of art, the history of music, ancient languages ​​and other interesting subjects and special courses. Unique teachers, PhDs and experts. Trips, summer practice, hiking. Unforgettable very warm and lively atmosphere!” nine0003

Tatyana, graduate (2005)

“By the middle of grade 11, more than half of my classmates had already been enrolled in universities based on the results of various olympiads, including Vserosa, or had an advantage of 100 points in at least one USE. Absolutely every teacher, even in “unimportant” subjects, loved his job and treated his subject with special awe and love.

Alexandra, graduate (2014)

4. School of Physics and Mathematics No. 2007

• User rating: 4.5
• Number of ratings: 13

Profile training. Education is conducted from grades 5 to 10, in each parallel there are about 75 students. There is only a physical and mathematical profile, and all students study mathematics, physics, computer science and ICT in depth. The school opened in 2003 and was conceived as a successor to the traditions of the “Second School” – the famous Moscow physics and mathematics lyceum. Since 2005, the percentage of graduates entering universities has not fallen below 100. Most enter Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Bauman Moscow State Technical University. nine0003

Preparation for the Olympiads. In the 2015-2016 academic year, according to the internal statistics of the school, students won almost 1,500 prizes in various olympiads. There is a special subject in the school curriculum – “Problem Solving Workshop”, in which schoolchildren are taught to solve non-standard problems using non-standard methods. In the afternoon, numerous circles work on solving unusual problems in physics, mathematics, geometry and computer science.

Evening mathematical school. nine0014 For students in grades 4-6, an evening mathematical school was organized at the physics and mathematics school with classes once a week. For grades 2-3, school teachers lead a paid circle “Entertaining Mathematics”. Attending a circle and an evening school does not provide any benefits for admission, but helps to prepare for tests and interviews.
