From what I've heard, this place hasn't changed a bit since a friend and I left. This school and the entire district don't care about LGBTQ students (or ones that students claim to be gay) one bit and some of their staff even torment them alongside those students' peers. Disgusting. People who are trusted with the safety of children have no right to harass their students based on rumors or to taunt their students because of sexuality, race, disability, or ANY reason. Yes, you CAN expect racism here, toward students of any race from staff of any race. If your child is being bullied, expect excuses and lies. In my experience, teachers have ignored students physically and sexually assaulting me right in front of their eyes, but claim that there is no proof when the authorities or higher-ups are involved. If the staff really don't like you, expect punishment when other students claim that YOU assaulted them, when no such thing happened. Who cares about some punching bag? Parents and guardians, if you care about your children, send them elsewhere.

Aside from the very dedicated teachers the electives are quite limited though they boast the only CAD class in Washtenaw county. The technology the students and teachers are the best in the county. Although the principal and teachers are highly involved in the students education, many of the parents and the board of education have trouble putting the students' education first.

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.
