Only reason I won't be completely honest and specific with with review is because I am almost…read morecertain the Niles faculty will cause even more issues for me as some kind of "revenge". Without putting my personal experience in too much, let me say things all students will experience. The school has a rodent problem. Multiple people, including staff, have found dead mice or rats in lockers. The school has also been redone in 2018, and faculty complains that it was done badly. Even basic features are messed up. The tile is off centered. The outlets by sinks are not water proofed, so they get ruined easily. The school set up is just strange. In some hallways, there is only a bathroom for one sex. The school has an attendance policy that can easily ruin your child's grade and definitely cause unneeded issues. Your child is allowed 5 absences a quarter. After that, every absence takes 5% off your grade. 5% is big, and niles wonders why 25% of their freshman were failing (according to the principal). Even if a parent calls in and/or the child has a doctors note, it doesn't matter. You can try to "appeal" the absence, but that basically never works. You can, however, serve detention to make it up. But detention makeup ends before the quarter/school year ends. The school is also not high in national or state rankings. The efficiency rate in English is only 60%, and math is only 30%. The high school also pushes New Tech severely. New tech is a form of learning where all work is done as group projects. That literally sounds like every child's nightmare. If you fail one class in new tech, you automatically fail two because the subjects are "bound". They don't educate children on their many other educational programs. They offer Andrews University (math and science, very competitive), SMC and LMC (college level classes at the campus), and early college (take classes at LMC and SMC, graduate a year later than you should with a degree). Multiple students have said the school counselors lie to them about these programs, saying "you're not allowed to do that", even though they have every right to participate. They also tell students they're not allowed to test out of classes, even though Michigan legally allows students to test out of any class. Many parents have expressed concern about this.

The quality of education is top notch. I felt that I was in a safe community when I visited. Making a decision about where to attend university is hard. If you can get accepted consider Holy Cross College.

Holy cross college is a small liberal arts college located across the street from Notre Dame and…read morenext to saint Mary's college. It offers different bachelor degree options. Holy cross also takes a holistic approach to learning as well, with the academic portion of education there is also an internship, service learning and global immersion experience as well! Another great feature of holy cross is it's small class sizes, you won't be just a number in the classroom professors know your name! The tri campus community is also fostered as well, if you are a holy cross student you can also enjoy different aspects of campus life at ND and SMC.

Mathnasium has helped my son, and our family, so much. Math homework nights used to be really hard…read moreon all of us. He didn't understand the work, I tried, but often wasn't able to help him partly because I wasn't taught his way and also because he developed a mental block because he grew to dislike math so much. After our initial assessment at Mathnasium I knew someone like a peer tutor wasn't going to be able to help him either. We found that there were gaps in his math skills that were a year or two behind his current placement. A tutor would have likely helped with homework, but he still would have had those gaps. Since starting at Mathnasium 2 months ago my son's confidence has grown, his nervousness about going to school on math days has ended, and he is starting to open up more about his struggles. We are able to have converstaions about math instead of fights about it. He got in the car after a recent session at Mathnasium and said, "that feels so good to finally understand that." He was afraid to ask for help before because he didn't want to look 'dumb' in front of the other students in his high school honors class. I really cannot say enough about the caring staff and just what a relief it is to have that stress off of our family, but mostly to have my son happier again.

I cannot write a more enthusiastic recommendation for Good Shepherd Montessori. All my children…read moreattend this school and beyond the hands-on learning of the Montessori method, this school instills a joy and love of learning that I am grateful for every single day. They believe in purposeful, engaged learning and to that end the children spend half a day every week on a local farm. They have a wonderful faith based component that encourages an individual exploration of faith. And having volunteered on a weekly basis i can say why absolute certainty this school can work wonders on children who struggle in other environments. It's not cheap but it's worth very penny and the school works hard to support families with more need. I would absolutely encourage you to learn more about the method itself but also this school.

My class was set for 3:15pm, but I arrived 2:50pm, only to find the instructor was not there until about 3:10pm. Once everyone was in the doors were locked. The instructor was very friendly and asked if we had a music playlist or if she could play her own. She played her own which was pretty good. It was a mix of seductive dance music. All in all it was a good session and I would recommend this place for a safe environment and athletic fun. Once they get the parking situation fixed, they will be a four star recommendation easily.
