I am a student at this school. I desperately warn you this! Do not enroll in this school. There is too much drama in this school. Most of the teachers don't put in the assignments you did because they always forget to grade them and you will get a bad grade. I ALWAYS have to remind them. The students, It's like a reinactment of Jersey Shore. They always cuss and start fights to impress girls. They all cut their hair into a Mohawk. I can't find one person no having one. The bathroom stall locks are broken because they kick it open while someone is dressing for Gym. They broke of the soap and napkin dispensers too. They locked all the bathrooms except one because of this. There are no field trips because the other 200 students ruin it. They don't give homework and don't give study guides. All they do is give you a test on something you don't know. I've found out that 5th graders are ahead of us and I'm in 8th grade! This is terrible! And I get straight A's! I am so angry at the school. How will I ever survive in High school!

I went to this school for 8 years, (1st-8th grade) I just want to say that i couldn't wait to leave it. The teachers have basically given up on the students. The principals are to busy with their harsh discipline on a student body that doesn't care. I now live in a different district that has given me much support and am currently flourishing there. They have terribly prepared me for my highschool/college years. I wish i could give it 0 starts.

should i go to unis even though excellent teachers strong principal challenging academic programs strong school leadership.

Great education, but a horrible staff of principles. They do not understand a single thing. Teachers, DO understand and will help you whenever help is designated. This school deserves a 0/5 stars but since that is not a choice, I'll have to choose 1/5 stars. Hope i discouraged you into bringing your children to this school, because i assure you, you wil not like it there, at Unis Middle School.

I am a 4.0 student at Unis Middle School, when it comes to education, I would give the school a 4/5. There are many good teachers who are always there for you when you need help, such as not understanding a lesson and there is a few teachers who would yell at you for the smallest little things. We do not get much homework (probably one homework assignement a week), we do much of our work in school which is a great thing because the teachers will help you. Overall I think its a great school for a student thats there to learn not hang out with friends and get into trouble. Hope I helped! :)

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.
