Detroit Public Schools Gave 8 of 10 Teachers Highest Rating Despite Being Nation's Worst Urban ... [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
79 percent of DPS teachers rated as 'highly effective' which is twice the state average
When Gov. Rick Snyder recently proposed creating a new school district organization to serve Detroit schoolchildren, he cited a “lack of educational success” and “failing academics” and pointed out that Detroit is the “nation’s lowest performing urban school area.”
