The State of Michigan publishes a report which lists and ranks school districts participating in the Great Starts Readiness program by their percentage of children served in the program who come from families in poverty.
Here is a sample of school districts from Southwest Michigan. Again, this is the percentage of children in the school's Great Start Readiness pre-school who are in poverty homes:
98.4% - Benton Harbor
90.0% - Covert
75.0% - Battle Creek
66.2% - Hartford
63.1% - Kalamazoo
59.1% - Sturgis
50.3% - Three Rivers
49.2% - South Haven
39.5% - Allegan
27.9% - Edwardsburg
12.2% - Mattawan
