Cornerstone Christian School

The security and safety of students really bothered us. We constantly get emails saying that the school was locked down due to unidentified people on the property and the sheriff was called.On a number of occasions there were people carrying guns while picking up kids after school. There are no text books and it was over 1/4 of the school year before they had laptop ls to work on.They were very focused on punitive factors for kids which stressed out kod out to the point where he was having panic attacks in the morning fearing that he had forgotten something a small as a pencil. The music program was nice.

St. Patrick School in Brighton, MI. My wife and I both went to private catholic schools and had high hopes when sending our son to St. Patrick. Unfortunately, the school turned out to be a major disappointment! The teachers were all pretty good, but the administration is absolutely terrible! Our son was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, and the administration offered NO help or support. They relied on the Brighton School District to do their "special education" testing. Brighton couldn't even spell my son’s name correctly throughout the report; and more importantly, they scored their own test INCORRECTLY! The St. Patrick Special Education Coordinator didn't even know how to read the special education reports prepared by Brighton Schools, and she didn't even know what a Lexile score is, I had to educate her and explain it to her. My son started at St. Patrick in kindergarten and stayed through 5th grade. According to his Lexile scores at the end of 4th grade, he was reading at a 1st grade level, and the school was unwilling to help. In a one-on-one meeting with the Special Education Coordinator and Vice Principal in the early spring of 5th to discuss my son's situation, they promised us the world and then didn't deliver on any of it. They flat-out lied to our faces about the accommodations they would put in place to help support our son's education. We exchanged emails with the administration after our meeting and they were downright rude in their responses. If your child needs any special care or attention, THIS IS NOT THE SCHOOL FOR YOU! We were told repeatedly that they "do not have the in-house resources to help." I really do believe the administration at this school just sat by and watched my son struggle while doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help. All this was going on while I had paid almost $40,000 in tuition for my son's education. We are not the only family that has had this experience with St. Patrick. We know of another family that just pulled their kids for the same exact reasons.My experience with this school can be summed up in just a few words...DISAPPOINTING and LIES!
