Michigan Student Test Of Educational Progress (M-STEP) - Students Not Proficient (2015–2025)

Definition

The count is the number of students who did not meet standards on the English language arts section of the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP). The percent is based on the number of test-takers.

Districts that cross county boundaries are included in the county assigned by the data source.

Data are from spring of the year indicated.

The Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) results cannot be compared with prior years' Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) results.

Notes

2021 M-STEP: Use estimations with caution and do not compare to prior years. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer students underwent testing compared to prior years, and many school districts had additional data suppressed. Students did not take the M-STEP in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More detailed data for districts can be found at mischooldata.org.

Data for all years (2014-15 through 2024-25) was revised in June 2026. Any publication with these data written prior to June 2026 has outdated data.

Districts with fewer than ten students assessed are removed from the dataset for county and city estimates; the state count includes all students. In counties with small numbers of students, there may be a margin of error exceeding 5%.
