As a parent of a middle schooler, grade schooler, and a junior in high school, I am extremely satisfied with Brimleys overall school curriculum and staff. My daughter is an athlete and competes with other schools both academically and athletically, both are top notch programs. My son also has recieved additional tutoring for assistance in math and science from peers and his teachers. Brimley has a diversified school student population and the community plays a very significant role in acceptance for my childs Native American culture. School survalence includes cameras in hallways and parking lots which have assisted in keeping both crime and mischief at a minimum. Small school atmosphere with helpful teachers and staff. A lot of community involvement for projects and diversified curriculum content. Bay Mills college/LSSU located within easy driving distance.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math, reading and writing; in grades 5 and 8 in science; and in grades 6 and 9 in social studies. The MEAP is a standards-based test, which measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MEAP test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MME test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.
