There is no evidence in post #52 that Michigan high school students are doing more poorly. It gives a picture of rising scores. The key is the statement that follows - the increases aren’t keeping up with the scores of OOS students. There is a combination of more students willing to pay OOS prices for UM and more HS students overall in the country, plus more international interest. Michigan high school students can be doing better than ever and still not keep with growing numbers and interest among OOS students.
