Excellent, caring teachers led by an amazing principal. The place gets even better every year.
Posted by a parent on 12/14/2016We appreciate the continuous feedback and thought from our new principal. He seems inspired and passionate about his job. However, I was not impressed by the lackluster teaching and involvement of my daughter's classroom teacher. The students had a few writing projects over the year, and I was absol
Posted by a parent on 6/1/2014Accessible and enlightened new principal (Chuck Hatt) has an excellent grasp of the needs of the students and everyone in the community that influences those students. Not only does he practice the common sense and compassion gained from many decades of teaching experience, he is a highly-trained, n
Posted by a community member on 11/29/2013I guess unsatisfactory is the most appropriate choice because we left, as in literally changed schools. It's fine school on paper, but no more so than half a dozen of the other A2 schools that cluster at the top in terms of test scores. What really put us off was the culture. There are deep socioeco
Posted by a parent on 11/25/2013New principal (Mr. .Hatt) seems great. Even talking about getting professional development training for the lunchroom staff and bus drivers! Innovative thinker and leader, warm and receptive. This school has Spanish instruction from K-5th, unusual for A2 public schools, due to parents and PTO raisin

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageJo Ann (the vice principal) is a bully and demonstrates passive aggressiveness towards other adults, which creates a very toxic environment. The principal doesn't even respond to emails or phone calls. The teachers are nice and seem to genuinely care about the kids. If the administration fails, how can the school function? This place is setting itself up for a potential lawsuit in the near future with this "I don't give a care" mentality.Other Review2y ago - Ann Arbor Hills Child Development Center

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe sent our son to the school from parent toddler through Kindergarten. He was a clingy toddler when he started at the school and is graduating as a very confident Kindergartener ready for first grade. Having attended Catholic school, I truly appreciated the school’s non-denominational focus on values and kindness. His class is tight knit and each child is encouraged to play and be friends with all classmates (“friends”). Academically, the school fosters curiosity. Our son was eager to get to school early and learn what was going to be taught. At the start of kindergarten, he didn’t like drawing or writing. By the end of year, his writing had improved dramatically. His drawing (and appreciation for drawing) had improved so much as well. The kids also did book pockets (take home first reader books) every night for dinner and bed. The class read a longer chapter book together, which they all loved. Our son liked it so much that we read it a few more times at home. All of the classes we were in had very energetic and enthusiastic kids. The teachers engaged them with creative activities, focusing their energy through listening, explaining, and routines. The school reopened with camp in June of 2020 to test protocols and ensure they would be ready for Fall of 2020. The commitment to their students and their development shows in everything they do here.Parent Review3y ago - St. Thomas the Apostle School
