Ottawa County Source: Michigan Department of Education, M-STEP

Explanation of the Indicator

Beginning in spring 2015, the M-STEP (Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress) was adopted to more rigorously test Michigan students. This test is more closely aligned with Michigan's career and college-ready academic standards than the previous MEAP test.

Notes

In some cases, County-level data are not available from the same data source used by the State. In other cases, County-level data are not available for the same time frame used by the State. In these instances, data sources and time frames were selected that most closely match those of the State. Due to this difference, it must be noted that comparisons may not be completely equivalent in all cases. Ottawa County's and Michigan's data source is the Michigan Department of Education. When this page was last updated in August 2019, 2017 data was the most recent data available for Michigan, and 2018 data was the most recent data available for Ottawa County. State of Michigan dashboard measures were last updated in December 2018 prior to the change in administration. Plans for future data updates from the new administration have not been communicated as of yet.
