Teachers and administrators are dedicated to the learning and development of the students. They have gone out of their way to support my son both educationally and emotionally. Excellent academics, excellent arts, excellent sports program, my only hisitation is that it lacks diversity.

Hmm. Sorry saline. We were here on a temporary assignment. Saline is a safe environment and sheltered. They do not excel in math and science to prep on a global market. They are at a 'midwest' range. Sorry saline, but you are still not ib material or on level of germany, india, china or ohio.

There are many opportunities for those children who excel in academics (accelerated classes, etc.). Those children who were not born with the skills necessary to learn easily are left to fail and treated like misfits. We need to put more of our tax money into schools so that we can spend less tax dollars
... Read more on prisons, courts, rehabs, etc. My children who are talented academically have fared very well in Saline Schools. My children who struggle academically continue to struggle as we spend more and more money at Sylvan to help them to get the proper math education (which the Everyday Math program does not provide). Saline Schools need to realize that the best way to contribute to society and keep kids out of jail is to make sure that EVERY child learns the basics (reading, writing, and math) so that he can be successful in life.

My daughter's two years at this school have been excellent. She has ADD and is a special placement in the gifted and talented program. The staff has bent over backwards to allow her to work at her on speed and keep her interested. They have been open and worked with us whenever needed. I have only

We compared this school closely with the local private schools and found it to be the best option. The culture in Saline has a big effect on parental attitudes.

I'm not happy with my child's experience at this school. Picture a machine that marches on regardless of those who are faltering or failing to keep up. The pressure on the schools and the subsequent filtering down of the same to the children is tremendous. Material must be covered and pray that you understand

Programs offered after school to provide some assistance to the children lenghten a long day for those who are already battle weary from trying to keep up. Communication is also slow when messages are left for teachers/staff. My child had the flu and was out for seven days and I called the office to ask for take home assignments. Few teachers responded.
