I think Leslie Middle School is a good school. It has a caring staff, who work hard to recognize students and involve parents. They also have many programs in place to address bullying.

It seems teachers, parents, and administrators have a deal not to address the students behavior and academic problems in a serious way. Classes brag competitively about who the "worst" in the school is. And then they go to the high school, where behavior problems persist and the minority go on to have a meaningful life outside of Leslie

This is just a great school its hard to explain, its a small town, the kids get lots of individual attention. Its just a warm school. Lots of love!

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.
