There is a teacher at this school who is extremely rude to students and constantly lowers their self-esteem. I had multiple meetings with the principal and requested to have my child switched to a different teacher, but each time the principal placed the blame on my child and defended the teacher.I eventually decided to transfer my child because their mental health was at risk. When I explained this to the principal, she told me that I “can’t teach my child to run away from their problems.” That comment was extremely unprofessional and insensitive.It is clear that the principal chooses who she wants to support and who she doesn’t. Many other children were also going to the office with anxiety symptoms similar to what my child experienced.Since leaving that school, my child has been much happier and is finally able to be themselves again. The school needs to stop blaming students and start holding teachers accountable for their behavior instead of making excuses for them.

Since the new principal everything at Haigh has gone bad. No parent communication, does not respong to emails. You do not feel welcomed when entering in the office. I had some concerns with my daughter so I emailed the principal, no response! My daughter comes home almost every day complaining that she doesn't learn anything and the teachers don't listen to them. They just don't care!

I have been a teacher at Howard for the last 8 years, and I honestly love it here! The school is truly a community. The teachers all care so much about the students and they work together to support each other seamlessly. The support staff works around the clock to provide services for students and help classroom teachers. The principal has a clear vision for the school and leads with empathy to make sure that every staff member, student and parent works together to achieve the highest outcomes possible. Every staff member takes safety very seriously and stays up to date on the latest protocols and procedures. There are also plenty of fun activities planned by the PTA and Howard committees that include Howard families into the school community. I truly love it here so much that I will be sending my son to Kindergarten at Howard in the fall!

Amazing staff! Focused on the children pushing them to the next level of excellence and keeping them motivated.

I went to Sacred Heart grade school, then switched to Dearborn public schools. In public schools, there are about half as many children per class, and they have better facilities. Sacred Heart pays teachers less, so they get the bottom of the barrel. I remember my sixth grade science teacher spending almost every class just screaming at the students. When I switched to public school, I was completely unprepared. Teachers expected me to know basic stuff I had not been taught.Please do not quash your child’s chances in life by sending them here.
