My son has attended Crescent since Pre-K. I had a few school choices in mind, but after reading…read morereviews this is home. My child and I both love it; from the, teachers, upper staff, helping staff, the students, etc... Crescent sets your scholars up for success. Let me brag a little about a special teacher, Mrs. Norwood-Harris. She's amazing, I could not have asked for a better teacher. She cares for her students and not just there for a paycheck. She goes above and beyond! Thank you all for what you do :)

Enrolling at Crescent Academy was an overwhelming experience. Definitely a culture shock going from…read morea class of 15 to several classes with 20+ students in each classroom. The first graders have their own trailer with over 6 classrooms, just for 1st graders. I thought this was great for children to develop social skills and building relationships with other students. Crescent Academy offers extracurricular activities to include girl's scouts, boy scouts, music, soccer, etc. In addition to activities, they also offer academic assistance for students that may be falling below their academic level. I gather from staff's involvement with the programs they offer, they really care. As it relates to the staff building relationships with the parents, I do see an effort being made since the last time I wrote my review. My daughter participated in the girls scout program, she was a daisy. She had so much fun and there were so many events, trips and meetings to keep the girls just as engaged. She will definitely be participating next year as a brownie. Overall, I feel confident in the academic program Crescent Academy offers. We are looking forward to next year.

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.
