Annual Education Report
February 10, 2022
Dear Parents and Community Members: We are pleased to present you with the Annual Education Report (AER) which provides key information on the 2021-22 educational progress for Dexter Community Schools and our schools. The AER addresses the complex reporting information required by federal and some requirements of state laws. Our staff is available to help you understand this information. Please contact Chris Timmis or Ryan Bruder for help if you need assistance. The DISTRICT AER is available for you to review electronically by visiting this website or you may review a copy in the main office at your child’s school. Each school will also be communicating their own AER to parents directly. These reports contain the following information:
- Includes the following three assessments: M-STEP (Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress), MI-Access (Alternate Assessment), and College Board SAT
- Presents assessment information for English language arts and mathematics for grades 3 to 8 and 11, and MI-Access science for grades 4, 7, and 11, compared to state averages for all students as well as subgroups of students.
-
Identifies the number and percentage of inexperienced teachers, principals, and other school leaders
-

-
Includes teachers who are not teaching in the subject or field for which they are certified
-
