my children have grown leaps and bounds since they have started this school, and everyone here is so welcoming and helpful, especialy in the tutoring area all the teachers really do care that my children do well as well as all students.

If you are looking for a small tight nit community with great teachers, coaches, students, and parents and if you like to be involved in your childrens education and activities then this is the school for you. we have been here for about 15 years and have meet thru sports or whatever events that were held @ bendle the greatest group of parents who have turned into life long friends we would do anything for the kids and parents in this district. so if thats what you are looking for then don't look any further. Bendle is the place to go and if you go anywhere else you can be assured that you will here us say ' uh, ah, should have been a Tiger ' The LaFreniere's

Bendle High School appears to be a very good school in all areas! The Sports program is very involved and competitive! Alot of homework but not too much either. I'd give this school close to 100% rating!

I come from a family of 9. All 9 were graduates of Bendle Schools. I am now a mother of 2 and am proud to have my children in this school. We have a great staff interested in our childrens education and safety.

I'm happy that the schools didn't combined. If they did there would be fights, bigger class rooms, and only the best athletics out of all the schools would play the sports.So once again I am happy that Bendle is one school. -Kristina DeFreese-

Coming from a large public school, such as Grand Blanc High School. I would have to say that I enjoy going to Bendle everyday more than I did enjoy going to Grand Blanc. Schools are taking in more kids than they can handle these days, which is making it rougher on the students. Bendle is far from that, with only 361 students, its not crowded at all. They have provided me so far with a great education, the same I would get if I were still going to Grand Blanc. Bendle Senior High School might be a small school, but they are achieving as much as other public schools are. To me our principle and our teachers are more sociable, interactive than any other school that I have attended. There are tons of schools out there with Principles, that don t even know half their students. Here at least the Principle knows my name, and that makes me feel more comfortable and enjoyable at school.

This school made a big mistake by not combining with the other districts. Bendle doesnt have enough to offer it's students. The stats show that the students arent performing to even average levels, and this district cant fix the problem on it's own... it keeps going downhill. What a shame.

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.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Michigan used the Michigan Merit Examination (MME) to assess students in grade 11 in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. The MME 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 state standard.

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.
