1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI can't say enough great things about Key Elementary school. We moved here from Florida about 3 years ago where my kids attended a private school. I was worried about if my kids would thrive at a new school, 1,000 miles from home! Well, they are thriving and they love their school. Their grades are great and their teachers are excellent. I can't say enough great things about the administration, Ms. Shana Murphy is an excellent principal who takes the time to know all her students (by name) and their parents! They have many meetings and events where parents can get involved. Great school!!Parent Review9mo ago - Oak Park Preparatory Academy

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOPHS is currently suffering from a rapid turnover of school leadership & staff. This has been a problem for almost a decade, but when literally EVERY administrator is new and then leaves the next year (or mid year… even when they signed a two year contract), that tells you something. There are still some outstanding staff members, but as they suffer inconsistencies from above (which leads to complete confusion of policies/procedures and chaotic student behavior)… unfortunately the staff is losing their best and struggling to recruit. Last year several classes were taught by subs for the entire school year. Something has to be done to support administrators and staff so that they don’t feel so exhausted and demoralized. More money and more PEOPLE are needed to carry the heavy load and correct this negative path that this school is on. (Additional note: The building is OLD and extremely outdated. This is a functional struggle, safety concern, and something that adds to low overall morale. Updates are long overdue.) All this being said, many of my students have said that this school is better than others that they have previously attended - usually in Detroit.Teacher Review7mo ago
