I'm letting my child write this review: I think this school is great. Yes, there is some kids who fight i know i was one of them (unfortunately) but that gets fixed because they get counceling and they're are consequences other than that it's a great school and the teachers really do love the children. in 2011 when i graduated as we left believe it or not the teachers cried. and even some of the students did. the reason i like this school is the dress code there's no uniform the only rule really no sagging. the teachers are commited the principle is a great leader and the learning is great. we really have good times and i met friends that i'll never forget

this school is terrible, i can't stress this enough, here my son is in 5th grade leaving the school when he is jumped by 3 other boys. i went to court on this. they had used the principle as a witness to what happened, we lost so i took him from the high school which also is terrible and put him in summit academy in romulus. much much better. good grades he gets...

I believe they are a wonderful school. But i do feel they need more parent participation days insted of blocking out parents from most activities

My son went to kindergarden there and it was a wonderful experince, I wish I could say the same for his 1st grade year, he is in 1st grade there now, and it has been a very unhappy experince, the teacher expects to much from 6 year olds, she is not caring or thoughtful, and the princable is uncaring and does not show compasion for students or parents, he treats us like we are nobodys and know nothing I would not recommend this school to any parent I am pulling my son and sending him to allen park schools, Due to the treatment I have recived from this school. Parents beware

As a parent of two children at this school I have mixed feelings about the quality of this schools programs. My son has attended Pardee for two years, and is in the special ed program.I am not happy with this program. I do how ever like the teachers. I do not feel that their program is sufficiant enough for my sons needs. I also feel that the administration is not understanding of parent or student needs or diferences. I also feel that there is a great need for sport activities that are not avalible to the students that attend this school. This is a great disadvantage for the students who attend this school. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope it was helpful to you and your children.

My daughter was so afraid of new things-and as soon as she seen her kindergarden teacher, she was out of her shell for good. I will be sending her back this coming school year.

My kids have been students at Pardee for almost ten years total now. I respect and admire not only the pricipal and teachers but the entire staff. From the principal to the custodians and everyone in between the main goal is the betterment of the students. We have a very strong parent group who has accomplished many great things not only for the school but for the community as a whole. We have chosen to move out of the district and leaving Pardee is truly the hardest part of it all. My children have all felt like a family there. The children who leave Pardee are truly better people for having been there.

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.
