This school is a great learning environment with a lot of great resources, but the students can be a bit much, for example, in my choir class, there are a few kids who stir up a ruckus and talk during our songs, the rest of us endeavor to learn about our voices and they are there because it was easi
Posted by a student on 10/27/2025I went here from 2020-2023, I’m now a highschool student at Kalamazoo central. From my experience this school was the worst school I have ever attended. Seems like they would pick up the first teachers they could find and did the bare minimum. I remember being told by the principal to stop telling o

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis use to be a fantastic school with the former principal Greg Socha. So much has changed and not for the better. Many staff members have left, parents and former employees removing their students from the school. Ask how many parents are on the PTO. Filthy, unsafe environment.Parent Review11mo ago - Indian Prairie Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIndian Prairie Elementary is such a warm and welcoming school! The teachers truly care about each child’s success, and the principal knows students by name, which makes it feel like a close-knit family. Every staff member we’ve met has been so kind and supportive. The surrounding neighborhood is safe, friendly, and a wonderful place for kids to grow. My only wish is that the school went up to 5th grade instead of stopping at 3rd. The speech therapy program here has been wonderful and has really helped my child improve his speech. It would be great if there could be a little more time dedicated to it, as it would build on the already excellent support the school provides. My advice for new parents is to join Indian Prairie’s PTO Facebook page — it’s a great way to stay updated on events, fundraisers, and ways to get involved in the school community.Parent Review9mo ago - Lincoln International Studies School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love working at Lincoln! Wouldn't want to be anywhere else :)This school has had a bad reputation in the past, but honestly - come visit! You will see right away it is not at all what people say. This school is great, the kids and families are great and the teachers work hard. Our principal is one of the best I've ever worked with. The hallways are calm and the kids are learning 100%.Other Review3y ago - Northglade Montessori School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy youngest children attend, and we've had wonderful experiences. Everyone is helpful, kind and the building is beautiful. I do wish there were more after school activities boys could join, as my daughter has attened girl scouts, girls on the run and even joined a cheer leading group... And there has been nothing for my son, but over all... I love that my children are safe, and in such a wonderful building with such caring and intelligent staff.Other Review9y ago - Reformed Heritage Christian School
