The staff is so disrespectful. I'm not sure what complex they have. Every time I've come here…read morewhether to drop my brother off or pick him up I've been met with disrespect from those in the front office. They believe they're superior. I know my first name is a typical last name but having someone repeat what's your first name over and over and slower is super demeaning. The teachers are even disrespectful to the students. My brother has come home with horror stories that make you hope your child is making them up. Ranging from other students taking his stuff and the teacher telling him oh well and blaming him to the teachers forcing them to run because her glasses were moved. Let me tell you my brother has issues with his ankles and this "punishment" further worsened his condition.

My experience with Laurus Academy has been a good one. I had one to graduate from there and another…read morecurrently attending, I wouldn't change anything about this school. The staff is attentive academically, respectful, and very communicative with your child's progress as well as with any problems that have arrived at the school, and they have always provided a safe environment for my children the whole course of them being there.

I don't know why Southfield schools are getting such a bad rap. They are excellent schools. My son…read moreattends MacArthur and he was reading 3 months after he started kindergarten. The teachers are wonderful. The test scores are high. There is no reason that it should be considered as low as it is. It should rank with the other schools around, but because of its history it is not. That was over 20 years ago!

So, a caveat to begin this review. I'm a social worker and serve children and youth with mental…read morehealth problems. I've never been a student at this school or the parent of a student. But I have had a few clients that went here. I've always been impressed with the quality of the education kids in this school get. They have two school programs (K-8) and high school. There is also a large preschool/pre-K program. The teacher student ratio is good and they are very willing to work with kids who have learning disabilities and mental health issues in a respectful, nurturing way. This school is located near McNichols and Grand River off the southfield freeway. They have an impressive array of afterschool activities and extra curriculars as well including girl scouts, student counsel, camping trips, science and rocket day, and day care programs.

Excellent preparatory high school. Very good academic program; outstanding athletic and life…read morepreparation program. St Mary's alumni are well represented at elite universities, as Olympic athletes, and in top ranked college athletics programs. The class size is fairly modest, allowing for good attention to individual students. Students' achievements are nonetheless strongly based on the effort they put into obtaining their education. This is not a prep school where you get your "ticket punched" merely by showing up.

Only some are actually certified in Montessori and others that may have the certification are not actually putting it into practice in their classroom. Concerns of staff behavior are often minimize or ignored. A core of Montessori education is a respect for the child and this is not something that is happening in all classrooms.

Thank you Clarenceville Middle School.

This school is ridiculous. I had to give a star but if I had my choice I wouldn't have. Oh where to…read morestart. There is no communication with the teachers through out the year. You see them at conferences so if your child is failing you basically have no clue. There only is a tutoring class at lunch and after school but its just a place for kids to get their homework done. They take the electives from the kids who are behind in classes and give them another class of the same thing. They say it's to help them catch up but really come on. My son didn't score good on the math and reading when they tested in 5th grade so he had to take both classes to replace gym,and art.The big issue ive had with them started at botsford. Their bullying policy is just crazy to me. My son has had a kid bully him since 3rd grade. I was in and out of that school and thought for some reason since they would be going into the middle school it would get better. Well I was wrong. Teachers,staff basically any adult in there has done nothing all year. The principle told me that if a child puts their hands on another that is bullying but if they are name calling that it isn't. What? Sorry but bullying is both physical and mental... They have done nothing about it still. The teachers all wonder why my son is not passing when he is being harassed and no one is helping him so yhea it affects his learning. I thought My kids were suppose to be protected and if they needed help the staff would do their job but I was wrong. I'm no longer putting up with a nonsense school.My children will not be going back next year.The environment there is awful,the way they treat parent's and the children is sad and not right. The books in the library shouldn't be there. My 11 year old came home with a book on jeffrey dahmer. I mean really what ever happened to doing a book report on presidents. The stuff i read in that book was sick and not age appropriate for any middle school child.
