MLive: Kalamazoo Promise analysis

An in-depth analysis of ACT scores by Mlive/Kalamazoo Gazette shows that the rate of improvement in Kalamazoo high schools easily outpaces the state numbers as well as the composite average of seven other urban districts: Battle Creek, Flint, Grand Rapids, Jackson, Lansing, Muskegon and Saginaw.

 

The analysis looked at the ACT results in two ways: Comparing changes  median ACT scores in each of the four subjects -- reading, English, math and science -- as well as comparing the percent of students who hit the "college-ready" benchmarks set by the ACT.
