Read what parents are saying about Congress ElementaryAll three of my children have either attended or are currently attending. I am so impressed with the welcoming environment, appropriate expectations, and amazing teachers. My children love seeing their old teachers who remember everything about them, many many years later. The other parents at the school are devoted and very welcoming, and invited me into their social events even when I was nervous to do so. I now wish I had been involved sooner. The school was great to adjust all learning needs by having staff available to work independently with both kids who need extra help, and those who are more advanced, so no one is left behind or stagnant in their learning.
Posted by a parent on 11/20/20233rd year of my children attending Congress and I must say I've seen growth in both of my kids as learners. Much of that is contributed to the excellent job their teachers do in getting to know their students personally. It allows them to get the full picture of each student.
Posted by a parent on 4/22/2019This school is amazing. I was nervous for my teeny little girl to start kindergarten in such a big imposing building, but once inside it is bright, welcoming, and full of an amazing staff. She instantly was welcomed as part of a family, and was happy every single day.Additionally, as a parent, I was very impressed with her teacher and the principal. Both were kind and friendly, and updated me on her progress as time went on. She had the appropriate amount of work for her age - she was challenged and learned a TON, but not overwhelmed. Additionally, I could not believe she was taking Spanish and Violin lessons as well. What a unique offering, and she absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, I had to move out of state for work, but otherwise I would have been a devoted parent here for years to come.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school might not be quiet advanced as others, but the level of respects towards teachers and others it's much better compared to highly qualified schools!!! Children are expected to have fun and enjoy every day and expected to give their best!!They are not expected to be some kind of robot who excels on everything!!!Perfection isn't expected at this school, therefore, children are more at ease and are quiet respectful and friendly!!Staff does their very best to keep children safe and loved by those who have a compassionate heart!!!The secretary is a lovely human being!!!!My girls were referred to City High Middle of school but we preferred to stay due to the level of such caring and compassionate staff!!!We don't want or expect smart children but rather prefer to raise responsible and caring children to make a difference in our community!Thank you MLK!!We pray and hope for a better coming school year 2022-2023 so that we may not be the only family to be happy to part of MLK!!!Parent Review1y ago - St. Isidore Catholic Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely wonderful. The staff cares about each student and the compassion for each child is amazing. Students are not a “number” here as in some public schools. We live in East Grand Rapids and love sending our children here rather than egrps. IF you want a better education and your child to grow up to be a good human being, I suggest sending them here.Parent Review5y ago - Living Stones Academy
