our family moved from another school district. We have found Springview to be excellent in all ways. The teachers are friendly and helpful to the students. The principal is amazing (she knows every child's name). Everything about this school is unbeleivably amazing. I love Springview and everyone should remember that the school can only be better with parent involvement.

Springview has changed a lot in the past year! The changes are all wonderful. Springview is well on it's way to becoming the best school in the district! I hope to see more parents get involved in any way they can. It's disappointing to see the low turnout at PTO meetings, where only a few parents seem interested in becoming part of the many committees and activities.

Springview is an outstanding elementary school. The teachers work hard to ensure that all students have an equal chance to be successful. When our son switched to Springview, he was welcomed immediately. His attitude towards school improved, and we are pleased with the positive, polite friends he has made. Springview maintains high academic standards, and provides a caring atmosphere in which to achieve. Springview parents are friendly, outgoing and very involved; they provide many extracurricular opportunities for the student body.

Springview is a wonderful school. I have lots of fun every day and I hope my kids will, too. The teachers are nice, and the principal leadership is wonderful. Our school has many many different extracirrucular activities and I liked a lot of them. My school has very good safety and discipline, and the overall quality of my school is absolutely, positively, outstanding.

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.
