Economically disadvantaged students at Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine average 402.2 on the SAT math test (2018-2019)

Economically disadvantaged students scored 402.2 on average on the SAT math test at Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine during the 2018-2019 academic year, a better result than the overall average for all students in the school, according to the Michigan Department of Educations' 2019 Michigan Merit Examination (MME).

Overall in the state, economically disadvantaged students scored 441.3 on average on the SAT math test in the 2018-2019 academic year.

MME's primary purpose is to provide a snapshot of end-of-year student learning across the state.

Standardized tests such as the MME have become a point of contention in recent years. The Michigan Department of Education tried to waive the 2021 exam but the federal Department of Education denied the request. State superintendent Michael Rice claimed the federal department of education continues to demonstrate its disconnect from conditions in public schools.
