Spring Valley Center For Exploration

This is my second time around with children in Parchment, my oldest son graduated from here but my daughter graduated from Plainwell. She did not have a very good experience in Parchment Schools. my younger children have always been in Plainwell schools until 2 yrs ago and I want them back in Plainwell schools.

The principal Mrs. Patterson needs to be replaced. Zero leadership lots of parent vs principal

I have two kids that both qualified for Early Childhood Special Education and attended this school. I cannot speak highly enough of the teachers and principle here! They always keep me informed of what is happening and want my input as well. My kids have both progressed enormously and they also love going to school here. Every teacher, parent, and student I've worked with in relation to this school has been amazing. It is a wonderful school and community and I'm so grateful to have my kids attending this school system!

I 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%.

It’s bad I really never write reviews but this school is just bad I see young girls with boyfriends already but they are just kids in elementary school and they say mean things like swearing a lot and the teachers don’t even say anything and kids fighting with other classmates starting drama .

My two kids attend Northglade Montessori Magnet School and it is amazing. Northglade is revolutionary because it offers a Montessori quality education to an at-risk population.The Montessori theory is holistic: It addresses the student's entire person, rather than just the academic aspect. Northglade students are not just studying traditional subject areas, but they are also learning responsibility, manners, grace, and courtesy. Northglade students learn how to make proper introductions, look people in the eyes during a conversation, and set their places at the table. Northglade students learn to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts peacefully. These skills are not generally taught in traditional schools, but are invaluable tools that will benefit Northglade students as they build their lives and careers. Northglade Rocks!
