Plymouth Educational Center

i love this school it very educational there is good teachers, fun kids to work with, and we have alot of after school activities

Great school! For a school being in Detroit this is a great place to learn! My wife is a teacher at this school - she has been for 7 years.

I love this school!!! My son is in kindergarten and he has excelled in his curriculum. His teacher absolutely loves her job which makes it easier for the children to learn, it really is a family environment at Plymouth E.C. My son started kindergarten without having a headstart advantage as a result he didn't get any of the concepts at first but after working with Mrs. O. Jackson this school year he is mastering concepts that I didn't get until I was in the second grade at a public school. I really liked her teaching techniques so I will be suggesting her for my younger son's kindergarten teacher next semester. My dicision to place my son at this school was a great one I feel his foundation to his education is a solid one and I have PEC to thank for their hard work and patience with my family.

I love that the teachers make time for the parents and students on a one on one basis. When my son started to have problems, we as parents and teachers tried several techniques to get him back on track.

Plymouth Educational Center provides our community with resources to assist our children in developing the whole person--cognitively, culturally, and socially. The staff is committed to providing an excellent learning environment with many opportunities to engage in all areas of development. I highly recommend this school for children in grades K -- through 12.

This is an above average to excellent school in Detroit. My children have been going to this school over a seven year time frame. The teachers and all the staff seem to like their jobs. They care about the children and want them to succeed academically. With thess tough times in Detroit/Michigan I'm glad I have a place in my neighborhood where my kids are learning and feel safe. Definitely a keeper...check it out.

My daughter attended PEC for six years. When she first began in kindergarten, I really liked the school. Ms. Hernandez is an excellent teacher who stresses learning. After kindergarten, I got disappointed more and more each year. She finished 5th grade in June of 2008 and I have decided not to send her back to PEC. Academically, she was not challenged. They have a very good after-school program and to me that seems to be the school focus. I also have a friend whose daughter graduated from PEC and when she went on to high school she was very behind in math. PEC needs to refocus on learning. Another thing that I did not like was the fact that alot of the children of the staff were constantly picked for teams and other things when they should not have. They were picked only because their parent worked at the school.

A very good school with much to offer. I have had four children there over five years. The academic curricula used are current. Children are tested througout the school year to document their learning progress. The school has to focus on standardized (MEAP) testing to ensure their funding but they handle this well trying all techniques to give students the best chances to do well on MEAPs. There are a variety of elective classes for all grades including music, art, PE, spanish, computers. The extracurricular activities include unique sports: girls volleyball, flag football (boys and girls), soccer, karate to name a few. The Principal, Dean, teachers and other staff are pleasant, respectful and professional. Its refreshing to see so much positivity. Discipline is swift/fair, they try to work with troublemakers (children and parents) but demand accountability from those types to keep the environment safe and focused. Keep it up!

Plymouth Educational Center is a place where students are the highest priority! The school has a high quality of curriculum, parent resources, staff development, teacher-student interaction, an active principal as well as administrators who are involved on a daily basis with being accountable for students' success! 'As a teacher it is a great place to work if you are concern about touching the lives of youth, families and being a part of a great team'! I give the school an A.
