My child attends Kelly Middle School currently I am very happy with Mr. Hamden and his staff and have found that many of the negative statements are not true. The biggest problem I see is parent involvement and wonder if the parents that are complaining are the parents that do not get involved in their

Teachers and principals can only do so much- parents need to work with their children too and be involved in their educational success and take the part of the blame for the failures.

Let's start with the administaration the principal (Mr. Hamden) is a very nice man and stays in his office and keeps to himself. Kelly is ran by the Assistant Principal and often the students.

I would not reccomend Kelly to anyone with an intellagent child. You may as well send your child to a Detroit Public School! The dress code stated in the guide is appropriate but do they follow they guideline? No! Kids attend school with outrageous colored hair and nails (boys and girls). Parking is a jam everyday!

My daughter has attended Kelly for 2 years - the teachers have zero effect in disciplining. The students are out of control. I'm trying desperately to get her out ASAP. If you are looking for a school to put your well behaved, intelligent child in - this is not the school for you.
