Im sorry but this was the worst school i have ever attended, and i have moved a lot. No one was ever willing to help unless you happen to be in the popular crowd, even the teachers! We also had problems when my little brother started there. He had struggled for years in school, but high school he absolutely bombed and they instantly assumed add, without even testing. It wasnt till after we moved from the district and had him re-evaluated they discovered he had a learning disorder. yeah i know not necessarily their fault but they could have atleast put more effort into giving my brother the help he needed. He does great now that he has the help

To much emphasis is placed on sports without enough attention to academic standards and other extra curriculars.

Most of the teachers are really cool, and help you out as much as possible.

I'm a student at this school. Most of the teachers are very good at what they do. Plus they actually care about what they are doing. One thing that disappoints me though, is that not enough money is put back into the school. it could use some remodeling. Even new lockers would make a big difference. Other than this, its an overall good school to attend.

A lot of the teachers are very good at what they teach and are good teachers. Others, not so much. Quite a bit of the emphasis goes on sports, but they don't put any money into the band program, which the extent is buying pizza for us before a game (which most of the time our band director pays) Our instruments are falling apart, our sticks are mismatched and the cymbals invert. Generally, Chesaning is an O.K. school, but they need to focus on more than one group than sports.

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.
