I enjoyed my child's experience in Mrs. German's class this year. She taught the kids academically and basic life skills. My child was in school everyday and would be upset if she was late. My other daughter will be in 3rd grade next year and I am looking forward to her being in Mrs. German's class. Overall, Baylor Woodson is growing tremendously if they can get the discipline policies in check they will be a dynamic school.

Because the teachers are very caring and are dedicated to teaching the students. My grandchildren got to know their teachers very well and like their teaching methods. They keep the parents and guardians informed on what is going on in the school, what programs they have after school for students and for parents. They get parents participation and cooperation in working in the school during the day.

As a parent of Inkster school children for the past 3.5 years I have seen great advances in the quality of education provided. From the elementary to the Middle school to the High School the teachers that my children have had are always there to give the kids that extra attention. The open door policy the staff and faculty have is exceptional.

I have 2 daughters enrolled in the school and I am very highly pleased with the teacher's willingness to make sure each student is successful when they leave their classroom. The parental team is also wonderful as well & very involved in the success of their children.

I currently have a 3rd grader enrolled at Baylor-Woodson.We are very satisfied with the education our son is receiving at this school. I feel Baylor-Woodson is providing a quality education as well as many after school and extracurricular activities. As a parent I feel very well informed of what is being taught in the classroom as well as my childs progress. I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in the Inkster Public School District.

School needs more parent and teacher communication, as well as involvement and updates on the development of SOP for prevention of bulling and assaults on vulnerable students......

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.
