We have two children at Quest and have been there since the day the school opened. Both my children have loved all their teachers thus far. When we had a specific concern last fall, one of the deans quickly made time in her schedule to meet with us and make note of our issues and worked with us and the teachers involved to remedy the situation. My husband and I like the new approach of having "proficient classrooms" where our children are challenged and work toward goals at a pace that moves more quickly, eliminating boredom.

My son started K this year, with no confidence and scared to try anything new. 2 years of pre-K and he wouldn't try to do anything, by christmas break at quest this year he was writing the whole alphabet, reading fluently, counting to 100 by 1's, 5's, and 10's, adding, subtracting, counting money, problem solving, putting things in alphabetical order, reading comprehension, and so much more that I can't list. I could not be happier with his progress. And he is full of confidence now! That's the best part

My son started here in 5th grade last year, after a very bad year in our local school. His teacher was wonderful and his grades shot up. His teacher called me with good news not just the bad news I was to hearing. My younger son also started K here last year and I believe his education was a lot better than he would has gotten at my local school. I am very glad I made the decision to switch to Quest.

My son is in young5 and he loves it as do I. He started off not knowing his abc, count past 10, or to write his name but now only 2 weeks into the school year he knows how to do all 3 and more. I hate that we are moving out of state or else I would deffenitly keep him in this school until high school. They deffenitly give each student attention they deserve and from what I've seen irst hand, they are also teaching them manors ontop of academic. My son loves this school and his teachers to the point he begs to go back and to do his homework the second he gets home.

As a mother of 5, my Quest student being my youngest child and my other children in college and high school, I have had many experiences with schools. Quest is by far the best yet. They strictly enforce their no bullying policy. There is a ZERO tolerance!!! Their teachers also take a lot of time giving the students individual attention. This is not easy but they make it happen. In my son's 3rd grade class there are 5 reading groups and 5 math groups. Everyone is reached on his or her level to help them reach their academic goals. Last but not least, they have a structured program for moral character. It's the icing on the cake.

My son has attented this school since 2009 when it opened its doors. The rating do not tell the story of this school. We are so pleased with the education and moral focus our son has received from this school. I have recommended this school to numerous people and will continue to. The teachers are WONDERFUL. They go the extra mile to help every child individually so they can learn at their own pace.

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.
