DESCRIPTION
This report card ranks all Detroit public schools and public charter schools as well as some private schools. Plus, we’ve included suburban schools where at least 30% of the students are from Detroit. New this year, we’ve organized the schools by geography to help parents find a school close to where they live or work. And we’re using the state’s new, much higher standards for school quality.

EXCELLENT SCHOOLS D E T R O I T
Find the Best School
for Your Child
february 2012
Excellent Schools Detroit (ESD) is made up of a broad and diverse cross-section of
Detroit’s education, government, community, parent, and philanthropic leaders who
have developed a citywide education plan to help ensure that all Detroit children are
in an excellent school by 2020.
The plan requires the implementation of breakthrough strategies in public will
building, talent development, new school creation, accountability, and early
childhood to dramatically improve student achievement in schools of all governance
models: traditional public, public charter, and private.
Members of the Excellent Schools Detroit coalition include Cornerstone Schools,
New Paradigm for Education, Detroit Public Schools, Detroit Regional Chamber,
McGregor Fund, Michigan Future, New Detroit, The Skillman Foundation, United
Way for Southeastern Michigan, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Other
signatories included the City of Detroit, the Kresge Foundation, New Urban
Learning, and Think Detroit PAL.
The coalition also partners or will partner with many other organizations, including
Black Family Development, Inc.; City Year; Data Driven Detroit; Detroit Federation of
Teachers; NAACP; Teach for America; Wayne State University; and others.
Copies of our comprehensive reform plan and related materials are available at
www.excellentschoolsdetroit.org.
We gratefully acknowledge the research assistance of Bettie Landauer-Menchik
at the MSU Good Schools Resource Center. Editorial and design by KSA-Plus
Communications. Data Driven Detroit produced the maps and helped with
the analysis.

How We Ranked the Schools 29
More CoMplete report Card to CoMeWe understand that parents look at more than test scores and graduation rates when choosing
a school for their child. later this spring, we will publish a much more complete report
card that looks at items such as whether the school has a safe and supportive environment,
quality math and reading instruction, effective principals, dedicated teachers, and strong family
outreach. In the meantime, and even with the more complete report card, we think it’s very
important that parents focus on the most important indicator of all: student performance.
2 Excellent Schools Detroit
How to Use This Report
We are publishing this third annual report card to help detroit parents better understand how well schools in the metro area are performing.
Our ultimate goal is for every Detroit student to be attending an excellent school by 2020. That means:
90% of detroit students graduate from high school,
90% of them go on to college or quality career training, and
90% of them are ready to succeed in college without having to retake courses they should have had in high school.
This report card ranks all Detroit public schools and public charter schools as
well as some private schools. Plus, we’ve included suburban schools where at
least 30% of the students are from Detroit. New this year, we’ve organized the
schools by geography to help parents find a school close to where they live
or work. and we’re using the state’s new, much higher standards for school
quality. Here’s how to use the maps and tables in this report card:
1. If you kNoW you are lookINg for a sChool rIght NoW, try to
eNroll IN oNe of the sChools oN page 4. These are the highest-performing
schools serving large numbers of Detroit students. Even if they are full, get on the
waitlist!
2. fINd your sChool aNd CoMpare It to others. The map overview on page
5 divides the city into seven areas, plus the suburbs. The indices starting on page
22 list all schools in the area alphabetically. Find your school and see if it performs
MeasurINg studeNt suCCessHow well students do on standardized tests is not the only way to measure a
school, but we believe it is the most important. If a student is not learning the
basics — English and math — it will be difficult for him or her to succeed in the
higher grades … or graduate and end up on a path to college or a good career.
Further, in a school where students are really learning, you can be confident
that other good things are happening: Students are safe, they’re interested,
and adults are working together to provide the necessary support.
2012 School Report Card 3
above the state average in reading and math or, for high schools, see if the school
performs above the state average on the ACT college admissions test, which all 11th
graders take. Our website (www.excellentschoolsdetroit.org) has many more details
about these schools, including contact information, grades served, students scoring
advanced on the state tests, and other resources.
3. seleCt a sChool. If there are schools that rank higher than the one your
child attends, consider enrolling your child there. Find out about enrollment or
application requirements. Most public schools — including most schools in the
Detroit Public Schools (DPS) system, suburban public schools, and public charter
schools — are open enrollment, which means that any student can go. However,
many require an application or other paperwork for students to enroll. Some
schools also require students to take an exam before being accepted. We have
identified these “special admissions” schools in the listings (SA). Each school has
its own deadlines and requirements, so you’ll need to contact each school directly.
Don’t give up hope. Many of the better schools may have waiting lists, but it’s
definitely worth contacting them. Openings may still be available up until the start
of the school year.
Why are thIs year’s sCores so MuCh loWer?The percentages of students meeting or exceeding state standards in
reading and math have declined significantly since we published the
2011 scorecard, especially in math. It’s not that schools have gotten
significantly worse. It’s because in fall 2011 Michigan set new, much
higher benchmarks for passing the state test.
The goal is to more accurately reflect what it will take for Michigan high
school graduates to succeed in college without needing remedial courses
… and then to figure out what it will take for students in the lower grades
to be on track for high school.
The changes are dramatic. The percentage of Michigan students proficient
in 8th grade math went from 78% to 29%, for example. “We have to be
honest with ourselves about where we are in preparing our kids for the
reality of today’s global economy,” said State Superintendent of Public
Instruction Mike Flanagan. “These updated scores, while they may be
difficult to accept, will help lead Michigan forward. Just looking good is
not better than being good.”
4 Excellent Schools Detroit
Area Schools with the Best Results
Start by looking at this group of 24 schools. They have the metro area’s best reading
and math scores over the past three years and are listed in order by total score.
The elementary and middle schools have met or exceeded the state averages during
this period, based on their reading and math scores on the Michigan Educational
Assessment Program (MEAP) test.
The high schools have composite scores of 16.5 on the ACT, the college admissions test.
Our list includes schools inside the city … and the inner suburbs. These include
traditional public schools, public charters, and private schools.
We’re not saying these are the only schools that can meet your child’s needs. But they’re
a great starting place.

2012 School Report Card 29
at each school level, we used publicly reported data on student achievement.
We focus specifically on measures that show whether students are ready to move on to
the next level — that is, if:
5th graders are ready for middle school,
8th graders are ready for high school, and
high school students are ready for college.
Wherever possible, the rankings are based on three-year averages so that we avoid
the major score changes (up and down) that sometimes occur from year to year. In
cases where we have only one or two years of data, we noted that.
At each level, we ranked schools from top to bottom. In 5th and 8th grades for each
school, we combined a school’s scores from 2009, 2010, and 2011 on two indicators: the
percentage of students meeting or exceeding state standards in reading and math on the
Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP). This report card uses the state’s new,
higher thresholds for meeting standards. These data were compiled from the downloadable
data section of the Michigan Department of Education’s (MDE) MEAP website.
In high school, we used the school’s ACT composite scores from 2009, 2010, and
2011, which tend to predict if a student is ready for college work without needing
to take remedial courses. We also report the school’s four-year graduation rates (a
necessary step for college or a career). The ACT data were compiled from the data
section of MDE’s Michigan Merit Examination (MME) website.The MDE reported
schoolwide ACT scores reflect only those ACT scores earned by students (primarily 11th
graders only) during the standard administration of the MME (of which ACT is a part).
Schoolwide scores directly from ACT reflect the scores of students taken during any
administration, including retests or tests taken by 12th graders, etc. Graduation data
came from MDE’s Center for Educational Performance and Information.
We did not rank schools where fewer than 20 students took the tests or schools
with less than two years of data. For private schools, we ranked only those whose
students took the state MEAP or ACT tests.
For suburban schools, we included schools where Detroit students account for at least
30% of the enrollment.
We did not include information on schools that have closed in the past year.
one more important note: Many top-performing Detroit public schools are special
admissions schools, which select students based on their exam scores (such as Cass
Technical and Renaissance) or applications (such as Bates Academy and the Foreign
Language Immersion School). We have noted these schools in our listings.
