We received the MISD annual report over the weekend. Looking at he statistics I saw something that I hadn't noticed before. Across the board, about 90 percent of our students passed the state standardized test (The MSP) in 2011. If you consider that 10 percent of our students qualify for special education support, which typically requires a 1 year or more differential between the student's assessed performance and their grade level expectations, this implies that MISD has very nearly a 100 percent effective pass rate on the MSP. Not bad for a little suburban school district.
