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.

M.L. King Jr. Academy a Healthier Generation

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.
