Hope Academy

I love St.Cecilia I went to school here 30 something year ago and when I look for a school for my daughter it was first on my list not only was it still there I still feel like I am home. My daughter will be in high school next year but after 9 year at St. Cecilia I no she will do great she she has a 4.0 GPA and she is on the cheer team and she really love the school so if you are looking for a place that love your kids the way you love them St.Cecilia is the place for you .

I attended St.John's Lutheran School from 5th-8th grade during the years 1968 -1972.The class size was very effective and the teachers were excellent.We were never indoctrinated into becoming practicing Lutherans but we received good innsruction regarding Christian training and values.I went on to attend Cass Technical High School after graduating valedictorian of my class.I am honered to be a proud alumnus of this school

As a parent I do not recommend this school to anyone. There is a huge lack of communication between faculty and the parents about what is going on with their child. They are quick to call home after a situation has escalated to far but not about the progress children's grades during the semester. It is not until report cards are given that I am made aware that my child is falling behind and not when the problem is arising so that me as a parent and the teacher can discuss the steps that need to be taken to get my child the help they need. They don't really care about helping the children. If they did they would be more involved with the parents as well.

Durfee Prek-8th grade is on its way to greatness. We have a new principal that seems to have the students best interest in mind. The school is an older school, however many updates have been made. Some updates include fresh painted walls, a welcome center at the entrance of the school and decorated walls that encourage what the students are being taught. This school has received negative reviews in past time but I beg to differ. We have great leadership and teachers that care about the students. I'm a very active parent and I see the vision of Durfee School!

helping review schools for my little relatives so they can recieve a better education then i recieved growing up. but now there are barely any schools lefted

The school was not what I expected at all they don’t have the kids best interest at heart i made the worst mistake by letting my children attend McKenzie from the principal down to the teachers are unprofessional i dont feel the kids are safe always something crazy happening my daughter never got kicked out of school before she started McKenzie the teachers and principal tell you one thing then turn around and do something different when you try to get a meeting to try to figure a plan out the principal always too busy never calls you they have cameras but every time your kids things get stolen they never do anything about it school is out of control
