They take into consideration test scores, student to teacher ratios, social economic disadvantaged students and free and reduced lunch numbers and recognizes those schools that are performing above expectations.
Out of the 873 high schools in the State of Michigan, only 191 were honored (a mere 21.88%), of which Harry S Truman High School and John F. Kennedy High School were noted.
Both Truman and Kennedy received a Bronze Badge for exceptional performances both locally and nationally.
Keep up the good work, keep fighting for your students, be proud and rejoice -- your efforts are being noticed not only here at home, but also on a much bigger stage.
-- Tommie Saylor, principal at KHS
