Pierce Elementary School

Greenfield is an amazing school with a staff that is extraordinary. It offers diversity, enrichment, teaches our children in academics but also how to be kind, good citizens inside and outside of school.

It is a well-made school and there are many things to do and it gives me so much nostalgia there but one of the teachers I had was not very helpful and I don't wish to see her again. But anyways this school helped me meet some of my best friends and they are still my best friends today. I loved the playground and the parties there and I do recommend this school but watch out for some of the staff there... I am very happy I went but there is too much hw but it did help me learn a lot.

My daughter currently is a kindergarten student at Quarton. So far, at least, I have only positive things to say about the teachers and principal, as well as the parents and community, and recommend the school unequivocally. In fact, my wife and I based our decision to move from San Francisco, California, to our Quarton Lake Estates residence specifically because of its close proximity to the well-regarded Quarton elementary school. Having said that, I do have one issue with this school, which is its poor management of the car pickup and drop off line process. For example, certain parents feel entitled to cut in line for afternoon pickup, showing up at the last minute and cutting in front of all of the other cars who have waited patiently in line for 10-45 minutes to get their kids. The school needs to implement some system to penalize these offenders because it is totally unacceptable. No one should be entitled to cut in line for pickup; we all have jobs to do and have places to go, after all. That said, I love the school and recommend it highly.

Save your money and take your business and your child elsewhere. This institution is lead by incompetent leadership that entirely disregards genuine Montessori practices nor provides it instructors with the respect and dignity they earn and deserve each day. The Head of School does not hold the formal Montessori training or the demeanor as prescribed by Montessori to be an instructor much less the Head of the school. Top notch teachers have been terminated without cause or reason, only to be replaced by by teaching assistants that also do not possess or hold the same level of credentials or experience. Its simply non-sensical. Additionally, it was apparent that The Head of this school (her name is Judy) is highly disliked by staff and parents alike, and has been for years. Why would a change not have been made long ago? The ever changing and detached Board of Directors are equally as incompetent and simply do not care, so long as they can continue taking in grant money and funds and non-refundable parent payments. They lack any serious motivation to function fairly, properly, transparently and with any level of moral ethic and integrity one would expect from a non-profit educational institution home based in Birmigham Michigan. They should be ashamed and remorseful to operate and function the way they do. Again, save your time & money with your child's best interest in mind and find a better place for early childhood development, ESPECIALLY if Judy is STILL at the helm. Seriously.

We pulled our kids out of Birmingham public schools during Covid. We looked at many of the catholic schools in the area and ultimately chose OLQM due to its welcoming environment, small class sizes, excellent standardized test scores and because we were so impressed with the principal and teachers that we met during out tours. Let me tell you, it has been the very BEST decision we have made as parents in regards to our children's education! The teachers, principal and leadership are overall outstanding! The environment is welcoming, humble, encouraging, supportive and safe. Our kids made friends very quickly and we have met so many nice families. In terms of academics, both of our children are thriving. Our oldest daughter is in CYO basketball and loves it. All in all, we can't say enough good things about OLQM, and will plan to keep our kiddos here through 8th grade. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area considering private education for their child!

I believe this school needs an overhaul and the bullying, the racism and attitude is overall out of control.
