This school strives for excellence. I think the staff is awesome and they work with me and my son very well. I am able to talk about anything with them and the cirriculum is advanced. They blend a great style of discipline, acedemic, and fun. Paragon is wonderful and the children even have spanish class. I would reccomend this school to anyone with great pride.

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.
