As a parent i have been completely satisfied with our experience at Ore Creek. Teachers offer a lot of help to kids in need. Many offer help before during and after school. It has made all the difference in my childs grades. He has soared academically since attending Ore and i am proud to say my children go to Hartland Consolidated Schools.

Being a student of Ore Creek, I have a first-hand experience of what it's like, and I can tell you this much: I love it there! Most all of the teachers are really nice and friendly, and the luches are good too. During last year I learned so many useful skills, and the thing is, my 7th grade teachers used many neat ways of getting us to remember what we've learned. So all in all, this is one of the best schools I've ever been in, and I hope to have a great time this year as well!

When I first came to Ore Creek Middle School, I thought we would get made fun of as seventh graders, but as the school year went by I noticed that no one bullied or called other people name or anything like that, and that was because they have a program called be the change... it is were if someone does do that to you can report it and then they get talked to by the eighth graders that are in Be The Change... I had loads of fun in seventh grade but now that I'm an eighth grader I have learned to respect and get my homework in on time, I do Lacrosse in the spring, Cross Country in the fall, and Cheerleading ( basketball ) in the winter! All I have to say is Ore Creek ROCKS!

I am very impressed with this school overall. As a parent of an 8th grader I am impressed by the preparation my child is getting for high school and the support the staff is giving to the parents.

We are so pleased with this school. The principals care about the students individually and that transfers to most of the teachers and the students feel it. Discipline is strong and appropriate for a public school and overall we have been pleased with Ore Creek.

This is a great school in which I really feel comfortable to learn in. We have an entire week to turn in work and then it only will be a week late. The principal is very friendly and the hot lunch program is excellent. The teachers are also very lenient and do not freak out because a student got out of their seat. I recommend this school, 100%!

So far this year (2004-2005) we are into winter. I have a 7th grader who absouletly loves the school. He wants to do his homework and does not want to miss class because of some rule about his grade going down upon missed classes. He loves the hot lunch selection which in the lower grades is very poor. Keep up the good work.

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.
