The Bunche School administrative, teaching, & non-instructional staff are awesome! They work extremely hard, they're dedicated, talented & fantastically persistent. Please note: I believe the staff of this school should receive a medal of honor for their patience, ingenuity, intelligence, & flexibility during this very difficult 1st year in the building that they were forced to move to this 2010-2011 school year!! They struggled through, with grace, during the difficulty of blending the former/prior Bunche staff & students into the former Duffield (presently new Bunche school). Despite everything the instructional & non-instructional staff, with their wonderful nature & professionalism, were able to successfully blend the prior Bunche, prior Duffield & even some staff & students from other schools together. They have made a giant leap this school year by creating a new Bunche school & therefore a new Bunche family. They are doing an excellent job. Congratulations New Bunche! Sincerely & respectfully, Mrs. Garie Thomas-Bass Examiner.com writer & Author of the book: Purposeful (Not Random) Acts of Kindness (AKA Beginning Steps for Overcoming Spoiled Brat-aholism)

My child attended this school for 2 years then I sent her to a school closer to home for 1st grade but I enrolled her back at Bunche because not only do they have one of the best principals in the district, she truly cares about the students and they are first priority. The school is very clean and the staff is really helpful and friendly.

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.
