Frank E. Bartlett School

I have 2 children currently enrolled at Bartlett. I am very pleased with their academic achievements. They both are progressing well in each subject, enjoy friendships and their teachers. I do not hear frequent complaining from faculty in the hallways, etc. I do not see dirty floors, halls, restrooms or classrooms. Any faculty I have spoken to are courteous, helpful, and do not seem to be overwhelmed with their duties. Their teachers appear to genuinely enjoy their work, and while they have made nice comments about my children, they expect them to adhere to classroom rules, etc.

Fantastic leadership and very well educated teachers! Parents are very involved and activities such as skating, movie night or talent show allow students to grow.

Lacks resources to help children of all learning levels. I've also heard lower elementary teachers yelling loudly at the children in the classroom on several occassions.

Dicipline at this school is a problem... Principle does not follow a clear cut plan on dicipline... This school needs new leadership in a principle.. She does not attend any outings unless they are at the school.. and therefore the teachers do the same... Parents are wonderful... Principle not so much

My son attended Bartlett from Kindergarten thru Second grade. If it we had not moved, he would have taken advantage of a program offered at Bartlett for children that need more of a challenging curriculum. The teachers are fantastic, and everything about this school is first-rate.

Our son was in a private school and transfered to Salem Elementary in 2nd grade. We found South Lyon / Salem Elementary to be outstanding. This school provides each child an individual learning plan to accomodate each childs needs. Our son now is in the South Lyon Magnet Program (grades 3/4/5) at Bartlett Elementary. This school is very clean and friendly. The school has artwork throughout the building. The play grounds are very large with much to offer. There is much parent and community involvement (many special events and evening parties for the kids and parents). The curriculum is very advanced providing science projects such as electrical wiring (and engineering), advanced math, reading and writing. The kids are placed into work groups to work as a team and solve problems. Advanced thought processes are taught at a young age. The teachers and staff are very dedicated and caring.
