Meads Mill is a very good school. Every teacher we have interacted with really cares about the kids. The support is there, both academically and socially. I do agree with the previous reviewer that there WAS an issue with office staff, but there has been a staffing change this year...I can now say that the entire office staff is welcoming, upbeat and helpful.

Office staff is horrible. Money is the main focus of this school, not the children. This is the worst school in Northville.

Meads Mill is an excellent school. Both my daughters go there and I am always pleased with the staff, curriculum, and the enviorment there. I am most especially pleased with my daughters good influence from her peers. No wonder it' s a michigan accreted school!

My son attends Meads Mill School. The principal, staff and the facility are excellent. Children are encouraged to reach their full potential. Teaching is excellent. As they say: 'A School is only as good as the Teachers' and with such good teachers, no doubt this school is great.

Meads Mill is the best middle school your child can attend in Northville. I am a current seventh grade student, and my experience is very pleasant. The teachers are excellent, and much emphasis is put on the academics. The athletics are varied, with track, cheer, football, basketball and volleyball. The musical programs usually have a great turnout. Art is availble, but not necessarily important.

Meads Mill is a great school with a great learning environment. Althought the building is not in the greatest shape, my daughter enjoys school and loves the teachers. She is taught the material very well, and with hard work she gets good grades.

I went to Meads Mill and didn't have the greatest experience. Throughout my three years of science, I had terrible teachers that didn't explain very well, and in result I had bad grades. The inside of the school is very old and the kids are spoiled brats.

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.
