School administration is stuck in their ways refusing to go beyond what’s easy and convenient for them. They have adopted a bullying culture due to their constant blind eyes. Most teachers are great. However, a lot teachers do the bare minimum similar to the administration. They care more about them
Posted by a parent on 8/28/2025Brownell Middle School in Grosse Pointe Farms really cares! The leadership, faculty, and families that have children attending all work together to provide amazing opportunities for all the students. All the Grosse Pointe District Schools offer a great education under caring and intelligent teachers
Posted by a parent on 10/9/2023Brownell is the shining star in the district. From the students, support staff, teachers and leadership you can’t go wrong. The staff truly care about each and every student in the building.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent of a student here, I am so grateful for this school. It is a strong Christian community of loving and supportive families. This warmth is also exuded by the teachers who seem to love their jobs and work hard with the children. The school promotes sound values and character, as well as academic excellence.Parent Review6y ago - St Clare Of Montefalco School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a past student, went here for five years so, to the people in these reviews claiming the negative reviews are just jealousy, no. no they are not. Liggett is so overpriced for both the education and the environment it provides. Student and teachers alike at this school do not care about education or learning, classes are so easy its laughable, and yet there are students who still struggle because they don't care to put in the little effort it requires and the teachers just give them a c and move on. this school prizes athletics above all else, which is hilarious considering they have a D7 football team. this school ruined my academic chances, i transferred out a year into high school and was shocked at how behind my peers i was, i barley knew how to write about literature and history and had missed more then a year of math content-- and i was one of the more academically inclined students who went here. so glad i left and started at an ACTUAL college prep school before graduating. to any parents looking at this who want more then just the schools name and reputation for their kids, this is not the place for you, i promise.Other Review1y ago - Marquette Elementary-Middle School
