Michigan Merit Exam results: Some Ann Arbor area high schools among top-scoring in the state

The brains come out in Ann Arbor and Saline. That’s where some of the highest scores for the state’s Merit Exams came from.

Excerpt:

The status quo reigned in the results of the latest round of Michigan Merit Exam testing locally and state wide.

Saline Area Schools had the sixth-highest ACT composite score among school districts and public school academies in the state, school officials said.
