I am very proud to be a Freeland Falcon and sad to be leaving. I highly recommend this school in its achademics as well as its arts.


Posted October 6, 2009

The building is constantly being improved as well as the educational programs. I am happy that Freeland has not cut back too much from its fine arts programs, those are very important and largely successful at FHS. I am please with the teaching staff there as well.

My school has dedicated teaching staff, open and hands on learning environment, top athletics program and outstanding community support!

I am a student teacher at Saginaw Valley State University and I had the opportunity to do some student teaching at Freeland Middle School. I was pleasantly surprised at the enthusiasm of the students and the teachers who creatively try to stretch their students imagination. The students were respectful, helpful, hard working and a fun to observe and teach. This is truly an ideal school to have your child attend or even to teach in. Way to go Freeland!

I am not a parent but a student. No matter what replacements Freeland has, the teachers are just awesome. They make everything interesting and fun. We have a great new principal. Freeland has a high sports academic, and haves alot of after school activities. Alot of parent involvement, and not a disappointment to many of us.

Freeland schools are awesome! Since I am a student, I should know. It's a whole lot better than my old school, and my principle Mr. Cain is an awesome teacher. What would we do without him?

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.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Michigan used the Michigan Merit Examination (MME) to assess students in grade 11 in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. The MME 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 state standard.

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 MME 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.
