This school has been a tremendous asset to the BV school district. It it the most structural school in the district. It saddens me to hear that the principal will be retiring this year. I find it hard to believe that they will find someone to fill the shoes of such a remarkable leader!! It was an honor to have my son enrolled there. The other down side is the new Superintendent Dr. Norman is not bringing many positive things to BV school district!

My son attends this school and I must say that I'll happy that I enrolled him here. The principal and her staff a A1 top notch. My son has special needs and they ensured that each of his needs were met. I will say that this is by no doubt the best school in Saginaw if not in Michigan. I would like to say thank you and keep up the excellent work to the principal and staff.

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.
