Posted by a parent on 4/17/2014Students here receive attention from great teachers who have a lot of experience. It's a little large, and its been around for a while but kids thrive here.
Posted by a parent on 4/2/2014Both my older brother & I attended this school. I began in 1947 8 years after my brother. We both loved the school as well as the teachers at the time. Those were the days when high dump trucks used to drop off ton's of apples for all of us to take home. We were also given huge long squares
Posted by a community member on 3/20/2014When my son Andrew was going into elementary school, I did not want him going to DPS. I decided to let him go there for a month and if I didn't see improvement I was going to send him to a private school. I was not only impressed but excited on all the good teachers who served as role models.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDurfee 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!Parent Review12y ago - Sampsonwebber Leadership Academy

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFrederick Douglass is an amazing school. All of the teachers have advanced degrees three are doctors and one of them also instructs at the University of MIchigan Ann Arbor Campus. The school offers many opportunities for the students i.e. internships, college courses, sports (State Champions), and broadening excursions. Frederick Douglass is a best kept secret.ParentParent Review4y ago - Edmonson Montessori
