This is my daughters first year at this school and she is loving every moment. This is the first year that she has really enjoyed school and has been enjoying learning from the teachers at Algonquin. My only problem is one teacher expressing her political views very strongly on a daily basis, but i just let my daughter know the importance of knowing political views but also know not to be persuaded any one way.

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.
