Interactive database: Compare your school’s M-STEP scores to peer schools
The Bridge difference
Bridge’s M-STEP database shows how individual elementary and middle schools performed on the test, and then compares that performance with schools across Michigan with a similar socioeconomic profile. Poverty levels are considered a critical (though not sole) factor in academic success.
Bridge measures poverty levels by the percentage of students eligible for a free or reduced-priced lunch under federal guidelines.
