TY FOR TCAPS

Our 2025 Annual Education Report (AER) was made public on January 13 — it’s a one-stop snapshot of how our schools are doing and how we support student success.

Our AER includes:

School accountability information

Student assessment data

Educator qualifications

Graduation and participation data

It also meets federal (Every Student Succeeds Act – ESSA) and state reporting requirements, helping ensure transparency and accountability for families and the community.

To make the data meaningful locally, our schools add cover letters that provide important context, including:

• How students are assigned to schools

• Progress on school improvement plans

• Information about specialized programs

• Core curriculum implementation

• Locally administered assessments

• Parent-teacher conference participation

• Dual enrollment and postsecondary opportunities

These reports are updated annually and can be easily shared, printed, or linked — keeping families informed and engaged.

You can learn more about our AER and access resources (including multilingual cover letter templates) through the Michigan Department of Education here: mischooldata.org/annual-education-report

Clear data + clear context = better governance and better decisions in service of success for every one of our kids.
