The Michigan Department of Education released new cut scores for the MEAP and MME state assessments this year.  Scores for all state assessments are reported in ranges called performance levels.  Both MEAP and MME use four performance levels: Advanced, Proficient, Partially Proficient, and Not Proficient.  A cut score is the point on the scale that separates one performance level from the next.  The new cut scores represent student achievement relative to being on-track to career- and college-readiness in high school, and on-track to proficiency in the next grade for grades 3-9, whereas the old cut scores represented a more basic level of achievement needed for the old manufacturing economy. As a result, the cut scores recently adopted are noticeably higher than the previous.  The following video provides more information on the new cut scores.
