Bill overview
This bill proposes a new system for ranking Michigan public schools using letter grades (A-F). Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, the Michigan Department of Education will evaluate schools based on student proficiency in math and English, student growth, English language learner progress, high school graduation rates, and how their students perform compared to similar schools. The goal is to provide a more transparent and easily understandable measure of school performance for parents and the public.
