For so many reasons. Not only are the staff helpful and caring, but professional and bright. Whether I attend a school function or I am just dropping off our daughter for the day, I am always greeted with welcome smiles and hellos. If I have a question or concern, I have always been addressed promptly and with courtesy. Most of all our daughter is very happy and is thriving in 1st grade and we couldnt be happier.

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.
