My daughter has attended early childhood center (excellent!!!) and is currently in 3rd grade. This is an excellent school. You can see respect in all aspects- among students, staff, and leadership. There are many opportunities and they challenge each student to be their best, including speaking (broadcasted daily morning announcements, etc..) and leadership opportunities. You can see a very caring attitude towards others and a family type atmosphere there. The students are expected to exhibit morals, be respectful to others, and be responsible for themselves. They have a strong academic program throughout that will prepare them for the rigor expected in high school and beyond. Issues (family, academic, behavioral, etc.) and discipline, when needed, is handled promptly and properly, with emphasis on learning how to handle circumstances to give them tools to deal with situations in the future. I particularly love the Christian education that they receive, which is also very important to us, and the staff "walks the walk" not just "talks the talk". Besides the Christ centered atmosphere, the caliber of this school is outstanding. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself.

My daughter attends school here and is in the 2nd grade. We are also church members. What really excites me about this school is how it really does feel like you are with extended family members when you are there. I know she is in good hands. They are firm but fair. Instilling moral values on my child is of upmost importance to me and I see the outcome in how she reacts to certain situations in public and how she has good judgement and it makes me proud. I have also had the opportunity to talk with parents who have sent their children here for a few years and then placed them in public school. The parents noticed a change in behavior and that they did not learn as much in a years time at public school. I highly recommend it. K. McLean

All three of my children attended Trinity, the staff is very caring. The new math program is the best, and the school cook is the greatest!

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.
