10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son just started college and is excelling there after his 4 years at Grosse Pointe South. What he learned in high school in terms of not only studies, but also friendship, interaction and self-confidence has more than prepared him for advanced education. Grosse Pointe South is a special mix of progressive curriculum and social education with the right amount of traditional charm and history. This public school upholds high standards while staying up to date with curriculum and striving to be progressive socially and future-ready.Parent Review6mo ago - Lewis Maire Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have spent a decade at Maire Elementary with 3 kids, our youngest in his last year there this school year. The teachers, principal, office staff, building engineers and everyone who works and volunteers at Maire are top notch. The school is truly a community who supports each other and builds lasting friendships (kids and adults)! The PTO is a great organization who work tirelessly to support the school with fundraisers and social events. We can't say enough great things about this school.Parent Review2y ago - Pierce Middle School
