Novi continues to far exceed state averages on MEAP test

Novi's kids significantly exceeded the state average in every subject, and in every grade. The most significant differences were evident in the middle school subjects. State-wide, scores dropped as students advanced. In Novi, this difference was not nearly as pronounced, and in the case of science and social studies, Novi's kid's scores actually improved through middle school. The opposite was true state-wide.

All MEAP scores are divided into four performance levels: Not Proficient, Partially Proficient, Proficient, and Advanced. Students who place in either the Proficient or Advanced levels are considered to be "proficient or above" in that subject. Proficiency measures a student at a basic level of knowledge in a given curriculum area. Michigan students are tested each October on skills learned through the end of the previous year.
