THey have allot of programs. The staff really care about the students. The principal always has something happening for the kids. They have more computers and technolgy than any school my kids went before. The best kep secret in DPS I think.

school was late starting here in detroit. hutchins included due to a teacher strike. but all in all things are starting to look up. eventhough here in the first full week the kids are getting their first full day out with something called staff professional day. go figure?i guess we will see some progress during the year i will keep u posted. also note my child reports roaches already. we will see how quickly this problem will be resolved.

I really liked going to this school because it had the quality and safety that I was looking for in a middle school. If I were you i would allow your child/ children to attend this school.

I feel that Hutchins Middle School is very supportive and intellectual! My child does not have to worry about anything or anyone. I trust the staff to educate my child on any academic terms. The principal is also responsible. I recommend this school to any young scholar!

That school is the best school I have heard of. I would recommend that school to any one who ask me about it. The staff is the best and really cares about the students. Keep up the good work staff.

think Hutchins is a very inappropriete school for kids to go to because of all the fights and cussing and haters and just everything about that school and also the lunches that they have are cold and nasty.

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.
