Oriole Park Elementary School

This school is a blue ribbon school of Kindergarten through fourth grade. Students keep their teacher for two years in a row to develop more of a rapport. Curriculum is also based on a two year cycle that allows the student to concentrate on the subject with greater results. All of the grades work together in many of the areas of school work in order to accelerate the younger children's learning and give the older children a nurturing experience and to develop social skills. This school's MEAP scores were excellent and the teacher to child ratio is great! My first grader's class has a total of twenty-one children including herself. The teachers are very communicative with parents and use logical standards of discipline. I recommend this school to anyone moving to the area and to those who are looking for a school of choice. This school is comparable, if not better, than the charter school my children previously attended.

After researching many private and public schools, I chose our neighborhood school, Oriole Park Elementary for my three children. The multi-age grade structure at Oriole Park fosters empathy and teamwork, as well as some customized learning opportunities for students excelling or struggling in certain academic areas. I feel comfortable taking any concern to teachers or the principal at Oriole Park. While my opinion is just one vote so to speak, Oriole Park's educators listen and are open to my suggestions for improvements. Their recent Blue Ribbon Exemplary School Award from the Michigan Department of Education is an honor the staff and students well deserve for their creativity, intelligence, and sense of community.

I had three children attend Oriole Park and each have had a great education. The teachers are fantastic. They are a 'Blue Ribbon' school in 2007 and have taught the kids much more than academics. We would highly recommend this school.
