Definition

The number reflects eleventh-graders whose performance on the College Board SAT in the subjects of Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
and Mathematics that did not meet the college readiness benchmarks in
one or both of the subjects.

The percentage is based on the number of
eleventh-graders whose SAT test scores were included in the report. The
SAT College Readiness data are based on the SAT with essay
administration completed during the Michigan Merit Examination in the
spring of grade 11.

Prior to the 2015-16 school year the ACT College
Readiness examination was used to measure the proficiency of high school
students in English, mathematics, reading, and science.

Notes

In September 2018, new disclosure avoidance rules were applied to college readiness data. As a result, districts with fewer than ten test-takers, or where the number of students not meeting college readiness was suppressed, were excluded from analysis. County and city totals are estimations that may exclude some districts, and careful consideration should be taken when comparing data across years due to the changes in data disclosure.
