Mackinac Center analysis recognizes the success of 19 Dearborn Schools
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is recognizing 19 Dearborn Public Schools for their outstanding performance on its recent report card.\u00a0 The Center\u2019s report placed the schools in the top 100 for one of three performance comparisons when state test scores were adjusted for the number of low-income students in the building.
\u201cMichigan\u2019s third-largest school district, Dearborn Public Schools, once again distinguished itself on the CAP Report Card. For the second straight edition, the district had five of the state\u2019s top 10 scoring schools, and more than half of its schools \u2014 17 of 29 \u2014 finished in the top 100,\u201d the full report says.
The Center releases its Context and Performance (CAP) report every two years.\u00a0 The analysis adjusts state standardized tests according to the number of low-income students in that grade at a school.\u00a0 About 76 percent of Dearborn Public School students are low-income, but those figures vary widely between buildings.
\u201cWe are proud to be recognized for the continued success of our students, and I applaud the hard work and dedication of our District staff and our families to help all of our students succeed,\u201d said Superintendent Dr. Glenn Maleyko.
In addition to a base score, schools were compared on long-term performance and most-improved based on test results going back to 2009.\u00a0 The report compared 2,203 schools for the current CAP report, 2,112 for long-term performance, and 2,075 for most improved.

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is a nonpartisan research and educational institute which touts itself as dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Michigan residents.
\u201cParents and educators should be able to see more clearly what kind of impact their school has on student learning, rather than simply seeing results that are strongly linked to student poverty,\u201d said Ben DeGrow, Mackinac Center\u2019s director of education policy and co-author of the study. \u201cOur Context and Performance Report Card adds another important dimension by going beyond raw test scores.\u201d
Dr. Maleyko said, \u201cWhile we know there is always more work to do, we take to heart our motto \u2018Students First \u2013 Inspire, Educate, Celebrate.\u2019 For most of our elementary and middle schools, this report is something to celebrate.\u201d
