Great teachers! Work very hard to teach students to be positive, hard-working, future leaders. Let's do something about the disruptive kids who don't care to be there.

My children received an outstanding education at CMS.

My daughter has excelled beyond my dreams in this school. She received all A's in 6th grade and received awards for each class which she was very proud of. The teaching staff care about the students and how they progress. The principal is always seen mingling with the students which shows his support for his students. The students look up to him and he is very fair in discipline should it be needed. I was sickened when I read the review about the discipline unfairness felt by a parent. She really needed to talk to the right people before posting such a comment. This is so off base. It is unfortunate that she left without resolving the issues she had. I am glad my daughter has the opportunity to be at CMS.

My son went there for 3 years. I was very unhappy with the way they unfairly disciplent, very arrogant when asked why they do what they do. Very very unprofessional. I pulled my son out of Cheboygan schools altogether.

This school disciplines very unfairly and is very unprofessional. It was so unreasonable that my parents registered me to a new school. During my 3 months there, I felt as though my thirst for knowledge was never quenched. They do not provide many classes, outside of the core classes.

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.
