Wayne Westland Trends: Third Grade Students’ Math M-Step Results

Examining the math M-step results of third-grade students within the Wayne-Westland district over the last eight years provides valuable insights into the academic progress and trends within the district. By analyzing this data, educators, administrators, and stakeholders can identify areas of strength, pinpoint areas for improvement, and develop targeted interventions to support student learning and success.

The data visualization below illustrates the performance of third-grade students on the math M-step assessment over the past eight years. It showcases trends in student achievement, highlighting any notable increases or decreases in scores over time.

One notable trend in scores is that since the 2014-15 school year, test scores have not gone up. With the exception of Thomas A. Edison, and Wildwood Elementary schools, every district has steadily decreased in scores, and has not seen better scores than they did in the 2014-15 school year.

This stagnation in test scores since the 2014-15 school year raises important questions and prompts deeper investigation into potential underlying factors. Educators and administrators may need to delve into various aspects such as curriculum alignment, instructional strategies, resource allocation, and student support services to understand why progress has plateaued.
