I love Keppen school because the teachers are all great and Mr. Dangerfield by far is the most amazing person in the world. I have 2 children in the school and my son is diabetic, he is always there to help with him and if there is ever an issue he is always there to fix the problems. I have no bad reviews for the school at all.

Since Terry Dangerfield became the princepal there have been so many changes. Parent's are starting to volunteer more. My daughter completed kindergarten this year and is now reading books to me at night instead of me reading to her. She is also doing some much math. For many years Lincoln Park schools have gotten a bad rap but let me tell you they are up and coming and test scores are proving it. Take a look for yourself! WAY TO GO LP!

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.
