I moved my students to Madison schools, figuring they would have a better education and could graduate from schools that were better than public schools. I was extremely wrong! Madison schools are horrible! I had so many safety concerns with my k student that I took her out the first wk. My 7th grader had so many bullying issues, broken promises and was discriminated against (by the principal & students) that I ended up pulling him out of school early too. I discourage people from sending their children to these schools, if they value and care about their children's safety and education. Also, I my child was behind where he should've been when he started attending the public school he attends now. I did think that some of the teachers and office employees were great. Its too bad that the rest of the people were the way they were. I thought it is supposed to be all about the kids, but at Madison schools, it not!

I made the decision to move my 9th grader from a larger public school to a smaller charter academy because it offered a smaller teacher to student ratio. Since moving to Madison my son has flourished. The teachers are great, the principal is always available when I have concerns and my son is much happier because he's in a safer environment. Madison still has some issues with poor communication and there are very few extra curricular activities but all in all I'm glad we made the switch and I would recommend Madison to other parents

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.
