Grosse Pointe Park District and Curriculum
The curriculum used at Grosse Pointe Public School System follows the standards established in the Michigan Merit Curriculum. The elementary curriculum focuses on the fundamentals and developing a base of knowledge in numeracy and literacy. The middle school curriculum moves away from skill-building and towards more critical thinking and hands-on learning. At the high school, students have choices to accelerate their education and take on college level academics or to participate in prestigious programs like the United States Senate Youth Program. As students move into such pathways available, the foundational subjects will be drawn upon in their learning.

Chalk Talk: Test Terminology
Test terminology can be difficult to understand. There may be a number of scores listed but it may be difficult to understand the differences. A raw score tells the number of questions that had correct answers on the test and does not tell any true information. Standard scores take into consideration other students of the same age and grade. These are represented as a part of a normal curve. When test results talk about grade or age equivalent scores they look at the way a student answers the questions and then tell what level the student is at, according to this test. For these results a third grade student may be given a score of 6.3 in reading. This means that when the student reads, they are reading the material the way a sixth grade student would read it. The percentile rank compares this student with others that took the test while a stanine rates a student on a scale from 1 to 9, where 1,2,3 are below average and 7,8,9 are above.
