It's smaller than it was a few years ago since the other MS opened. No more overcrowding.


Yes, Westland is "perfectly good" but honestly I expected better than "perfectly good." I expected good, if not excellent. It's not.


If you are expecting never to find fault in your kid’s schools you will be disappointed— doesn’t matter where they go, including whether they go to public or private.


Of course. I didn't say anything about never finding fault. But we're talking about a SCHOOL. I'm talking about academic rigor, not perfection.


What kind of academic rigor?

IMO academic rigor is overrated for middle school.
