MPA was an amazing school to learn and grow up in. I felt thoroughly prepared for college and the experiences I was afforded at MPA gave me the confidence and executive functioning skills to be successful in college and for my career.
Posted by a community member on 2/9/2026MPA is a top notch school and we are so incredibly blessed to have founds it. Our children are not only celebrated for their unique abilities, but also challenged in dynamic and age appropriate ways. I have no doubt that they are getting the absolute best education here.
Posted by a parent on 12/29/2025This school is awesome and supports LGBTQIAP+ students and their family involvement is truly inspiring. If you have a neurodiverse or queer child this is the school for you!!
Posted by a student on 10/1/2024Such an incredibly learning environment. My kids love MPA and are so happy to go to school. I appreciate that the learning is really hands on and not just book work.
Posted by a parent on 4/29/2024After 13 years at MPA, I am so proud of who our son has become thanks to his experience there. He’s confident, bright, well-spoken, connected, and, most importantly, kind and humble. Knowing that he spent more waking hours at school than he did at home, I know this is because of MPA. Now at college,

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFrost Lake is a hidden gem of a school! Some of the best school staff I've ever met. We had two children attend there. One who required intensive accommodations for mental health disability. The school works so hard to build an inclusive and welcoming community for not just students, but also families. Both our children were treated with care and respect. Our daughter is a 6th grader now and wanted to go back to visit the other day. Her second grade teacher instantly recognized her and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked if she could come to one of her volley ball games!Parent Review6y ago - Hazel Park Preparatory Academy

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE! They feed them week old food, same thing every day, the food is inedible some days. They teachers are rude, and uneducated. The science teacher is not a science teacher. The "baccalaureate" is not in fact a baccalaureate. my kids went there for 4 years and never learned any Spanish while taking it every year, or music either. They think putting on a movie in Spanish is teaching. The teachers are mean, uneducated, overworked. They do not grade papers, They do not correct the kids when they get something wrong on an assignment, which in turn makes them learn NOTHING. My kids are so far behind after spending years there and i feel so bad for the kids still remaining in that school. It needs to be shut down. Contact the superintendent if you haven't already if you have kids attending this school. This principal needs to be held accountable, and where is all the funding going? it is surely not going into the school at all. Also they do not have security in their parking lot. They have an older teacher directing traffic and no one even asking for proof of identity when picking up the kids. don't even get me started on the front staff. DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE.Parent Review3mo ago - L'Etoile Du Nord French Immersion Lower School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLNFI is a great school and community. The teachers are dedicated and passionate about their students. Interns from native French speaking countries offer the students more time and attention. The community of parents and family is phenomenal! I feel like we are getting a private school education for free.Parent Review3mo ago - Hmong Toj Siab Childrens House
