State of the Student - 2024 Update
This update provides our community a look into our schools, the students we serve, the successes, and the opportunities that await. We dive into data about our students, their achievements and education initiatives to help them succeed. And every year, we survey more students and continue reaching out to more districts, educators and families.

Student Perception Survey
In Spring 2023, students across Michigan, including many in grades 5-12 in Kent ISD school districts, participated in the MI Student Voice Survey which gauges engagement, social-emotional learning and belonging. The survey continue to expand their reach to more and more students and school districts each year. You can learn more about this process on the MI Student Voice website.
