Dear Wines Families,
Wines is “Beating the Odds!”
Yesterday, The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) released a list of 123 “Beating the Odds” schools who are outperforming schools with similar risk factors and demographic composition.
The Department conducted two separate studies to identify schools that are “Beating the Odds.” Study 1 identified 60 schools that are performing above their predicted levels, based on risk factors such as percent economically disadvantaged; percent students with disabilities; percent English language learners; and percent minority students. Study 2 identified 83 schools that perform better than a comparison group of schools with similar demographics. Wines was one of the 83 schools identified as “Beating the Odds” in study 2.
We are proud of our kids, our parents, and our teachers for their efforts in helping us receive this recognition. Attached to this week's email was the full press release from MDE along with a list of the 123 recognized schools.
