I love Kaiser Elementry! I have two children that attend this school. One of which is special needs! The staff is wonderful. They continue to ask for help from parents, which is wonderful. Parents schould be a bigger part of their child's life. I have not run into an issue that was a bad one! They continue to impress me.

As a substitute teacher in this district (previously a full-time teacher before kids), I am very impressed with this school. The multi-age classroom experience is one of the best I have seen. The curriculum is comparable to other nearby districts. The principal is involved and happy to be there. He really makes an effort to get to know the kids and parents. The faculty really seem to have a team mentality, which I think is a big plus! There is an encouraging spirit about this school...I have considered sending my own kids here when they are old enough, even though I don't live in the district.

The staff and principal make you feel Welcome. Everyone is always smiling.Miss Jennifer in the office is 100% devoted to the kids.Mrs. Bauss has a special way with the students in the Resource Room.The parents are involved with either the PTO or on Field trips or helping in the classroom. Mr. Johnson the principal has an Open door policy- which as a parent is great.This is our second year at Kaiser and I cannot say enough about how wonderful the school is for learning. Thank-you to the staff.

Parents check this out! See at Kaiser Elementary anyone who whats to be apart of things like field trips, in school helping with teachers, and anything to do with any type of contact with the children, Kaiser makes you sign for a 'Back Ground Check' this is the best thing I've ever seen in a school. I know the people around my child have been checked out by the school and approved to be in the school before that are around my child.......

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.
