37.5 percent of homeless students in Kalamazoo Public Schools academically ready for EBRW in college (2018-2019)

37.5 percent of homeless students in Kalamazoo Public Schools were academically ready for evidence-based reading and writing (EBRW) in college in the 2018-2019 academic year, a worse result than the overall average for all students in the district, according to the Michigan Department of Education's 2019 Michigan Merit Exam (MME) reports.

Overall in the state, 30.1 percent of homeless students were academically ready for EBRW in college in the 2018-2019 academic year.

MME's primary purpose is to provide a snapshot of end-of-year student learning across the state. When teachers give students assessments throughout the school year the primary purpose is to gauge their students' progress, and make adjustments to their instruction as necessary.
