How to read this. Michigan suppresses results for groups with too few students tested. Schools without a reportable Black student result are excluded rather than shown as zero — 754 of Michigan's schools have reportable data. Coverage is grades 3–8; high schools are not included. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, Michigan figures should not be compared against another state's.
