Summary
Michigan’s third graders are hitting rock bottom in reading—with just 38.2% proficient, the lowest score in 12 years—and the slide continues across grades 3 through 8, where only 44% show reading proficiency and 35.5% math proficiency. State Superintendent Glenn Maleyko admits progress is slow, as key teacher training isn’t due until 2031. Yet, there’s hope: districts like Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing report small wins. New math frameworks and STEM committees are underway, and officials stress test scores are just one metric—improvement is possible with sustained effort and collaboration.
