DETROIT, Feb. 7, 2024 ~ While progress is still needed to recover education outcomes post-COVID-19 pandemic, the Detroit Public Schools Community District is recovering at higher rates than the state average.
A new report from the Education Recovery Scorecard on the 2022/23 school year shows that Detroit Public School students were on average 0.23% higher in math scores than the rest of Michigan’s school districts, and 0.26% higher in reading scores. However, Detroit and other higher-poverty areas lost 75% or more of a grade equivalent in math the same school year, indicating schools are still struggling to recover from the pandemic.
