Mary D. Mitchell Recognized As Most Diverse School In Michigan

Mitchell School was recognized this week as the most diverse school in Michigan by publicschoolreview.com!

While we've always known Mitchell has extraordinary rich ethnic and cultural diversity, I didn't know the school would qualify as the most diverse in the state.  This is great news!  Diversity at Mitchell School is one of our great strengths.  This is a moment celebrate and embrace as we continue our work to achieve ongoing excellence at Mitchell.

Note: The way in which this designation was achieved is explained in the following text from publicschoolreview.com which refers to how their "diversity score" was determined:  "The chance that two students selected at random would be members of a different ethnic group. Scored from 0 to 1, a diversity score closer to 1 indicates a more diverse student body."
