We could not be happier with our choice of this school. The quality of teaching and curriculum is outstanding. We looked at several schools and after a tour and conversation with several staff and parents knew this was the one. We hope more people find out about this school and help it to grow! There is truly a special touch of God on this school.

My son is in Kindergarden and has gone from barely recognizing his letters to reading and writing in the first semester. His teacher is highly skilled and certified with experience. My son is learning scripture, knows the pledge of allegence, and prayer is not absent from his daily school routine. We are very happy with our choice of having our son attend Faithway.

This school has changed dramaticallyy over the years. The curriculum is subpar when compared to many other schools, public, charter and private christian. The students are not being introduced to areas that are important for success at the next grade level. My child was not where he needed to be when I left this school. For two years I have wasted my money. The principal is not what I would call a good principal; specifically when compared to principals in the past. The classrooms are now multigrade, which is a big detriment to most students. All in all, this school needs major reorganization.

This is a great school with a Christ centered atmosphere! I am very pleased with the spiritual and academic growth that my child has shown in the first few years. We are looking forward to coming back this fall, and excited to see what god has planned for this up coming year!

Our new principal has been an enormous blessing to our school. He has brought strong Christian leadership and a fresh focus to a school that already had so many great benefits... strong academics, great sports program, low teacher/student ratios, and a daily focus on relationship with God, not religion.

This school has major leadership, discipline and curriculum issues. There is poor communication with the leadership and teachers and thus in turn creates poor communication with parents. Students who have major discipline issues are not disciplined or addressed for fear of withdrawel from school.

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.
