I have a special needs child in the expolsion program that the teachers (2 of them in the class) Let my kid walk out of class and never watched where he went or anything. I spent 2 hours with the school safety, and a school councelor trying to find my child after he walked out of a unit with 2 teachers that never followed him or even watched what direction he went in.

Great Teachers and Great Students that love to learn.


Posted August 3, 2006

We just moved to Michigan so I looked online to get test scores and information to figure out what school I wanted my son going in to. Scott school had the highest test scores so I chose them and its a regrettable decision. My daughter went through their preschool program which was great they did a very good job. My son did first grade and the teacher was very good but the overall lack of dicipline in the school was appauling. The children are out of hand and no one tries to keep them in line plus there isn't a nurse for when your child becomes ill. My son became severely depressed in the school from other kids behavior and developed quite a few horrible habits we are fighting hard now to break.

My children (3 boys) have attended this school for 5 years. I have been very pleased with the teachers and the principal-former and present. I am an active parent and feel the school handles itself well.

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.
