This school offers a unique, alternative environment to the traditional public school. At the Lower Campus (Livonia), the classrooms are decidedly different and rich with the manipulative and engaging Montessori tools that allow for learning that involves multiple senses. The Upper Campus (Redford) classrooms appear a bit more traditional, but the curriculum and culture are equally unique. Kids at this school learn ownership and responsibility for their daily lessons, all in an environment that is markedly more accepting. The administration is supportive and involved, and there are several teachers on staff that deserve medals for their commitment, dedication, and passion for the kids. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
