Mount Clemens Schools See Improvements in MME Scores

 

Statewide test results for the Michigan Merit Exam show an increase for 2010, a trend also true in the Mount Clemens Community Schools district.

 

The MME is an exam compiled by the state that tests students in math, reading, science, social studies and writing subjects.  It is administered to those in 11th-grade.

 

In Mount Clemens, 75 percent of students met or exceeded proficiency in reading, an increase of 41 percent from last year. In science, 29 percent met or exceeded standards, a 2 percent increase.  In social studies, 82 percent passed the benchmarks, a 25 percent increase from last year.  However, in math and writing, scores decreased, although only slightly from last year. In math, 22 percent of students met or exceeded proficiency, a decrease of 4 percent. Also in writing, 22 percent of students passed, a 1 percent decrease.

Principal Sharon Gryzenia and her school wellness council have been very busy making some dramatic changes at King Academy, where more than 90 percent of the students are eligible to receive free or reduced price lunches. Some of the innovative strategies to create a healthier school environment include replacing sugary items with healthier options in the school breakfast program, increasing servings of whole grains, initiatives to educate parents and implementing the “Trouble Free Playground” program to make recess fun and enjoyable for all students.

MOUNT CLEMENS — The Mount Clemens Community Schools district will get to keep $4.5 million in its budget now that voters have approved a millage renewal.

On Election Day, May 4, locals voted to renew an 18.4593 mill non-homestead property tax. A non-homestead property tax means that most residents of the district do not pay the tax; rather, it is levied on businesses, second homes or rental properties.

The renewal received 790 votes, or 60.4 percent approval.

MCCS Superintendent Charles Muncatchy said he is “thankful to the community” for passing the millage, which represents 20 percent of the district’s operating funds.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford likes spinach.

That admission produced the expected groans Wednesday from about 300 students at Martin Luther King Jr. Academy in Mount Clemens. But it's a pretty safe bet they won't hold it against him.

In partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the Lions second-year signal caller visited the school Wednesday to stress the importance of nutrition and good health.

He fielded questions about his diet and exercise habits, but that was just the start. For more than an hour, Stafford exercised with students, led them on a walk around the playground, posed for photographs and even found time to toss them a few passes -- all in the name of good health.

MOUNT CLEMENS - Mount Clemens Community Schools Superintendent Charles Muncatchy wants everyone to know that his school district has a strong future ahead.
During his first-ever stand-alone State of the District Address, held on April 20 at Mount Clemens High School, Muncatchy talked about MCCS's future, but not before recalling its successes over the last three years.

"We have a lot of good things going on here," he said.

Muncatchy pointed out that in the last three years, the district has cut $5.5 million while at the same time improving services. He said the district has a strong working relationship with post-secondary schools, such as Michigan State University, and is the only school district in the area with an athletic eligibility GPA standard in the rulebook. Muncatchy also said the district has tried very hard to increase communication with the community, students and parents by doing things such as installing LED signs in front of every school to announce what activities are going on, as well as redesigning its website.

Academy not for privileged, but students need to be good citizens

A solid education is crucial to getting that extra edge in college and the work force. Students of the Mount Clemens High School Creative Arts & Communication Academy are getting just that in its hallowed halls.

The academy, which opened last fall, focuses on providing students a solid foundation in the basics, as well as niche learning.

Grads will have their reading, writing and arithmetic down, but they'll also have a strong jump-start in computer skills, from Web design to animation to learning coding and beyond.
