The staff really cares a lot about the students, and the orchestra is just scrumptious. Most of the students are truly passionate in their faith.

Northpointe Christian school,starts in preschool as early as 3 and 4 and runs up to 12 grade. Northpointe Christian schools starts band and orchestra in the 5th grade and they can choose if they want to do that or not, the kids who don't do band would be in study hall.All kids do art, there all sports like tennis,football,baseball,soccer,softball,volleyball-ll and others not swimming theres choir. The school sends e-mail to parents who have email but parents who don't kids get a sheet a paper of what's happening. That's about it.

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.
