TY FOR TCAPS

Our state assessment results for 2024/25 were released to the public last week.

Below you’ll find a snapshot of how our students performed in reading, math, and college readiness.

I’ve included five years of data for context (as well as outcomes for our economically disadvantaged kids)—and connected these results to the goals in our draft 5-year strategic plan.

You can look at our performance outcomes here: mischooldata.org → “K-12 Grade” → “State Testing” → “Grades 3-8” or “College Readiness” → search “Traverse City” or by individual school – ie. “[Cherry Knoll]”

*We’re planning to use NWEA (not the state assessment – MSTEP) for our new strategic plan elementary school goals – you can see our most recent NWEA outcomes HERE.
