Martin Luther King Junior Education Center Reviews

 
Both my son and daughter love the school. They came from Cornerstone School which was great academically but the principal lacked professionalism and had a hard time directing her staff especially the teacher assistants. My daughter was accepted to Bates and I decided on Martin Luther King educational center. What an excellent choice. The student/teacher ratio is small and both 2nd grade male teachers are excellent and have no problem controlling the learning environment.

My son has been in this school four years. When we first started there it was great, but after first grade I became less enthusiastic. The classrooms aren't managed well, the administration isn't involved enough with the children or supportive of the teachers. This school needs new administration, more creative arts, more teachers, and an exciting atmosphere.

I've been there since pre-k and loved it. i left last year though. most parents dislike it but i love it. they have alot of subjjects and curriculm. they have alot of family get togethers so i don;t know what the problem is with these parents. overall that is a great school.

My boys have attended this school for two years. The Directors are nonexistent they do not have any involvement with the parents. The education is good but they allow student to do what they want and the teachers get no support from the administration when it comes to dealing with behavior problems in the classroom. This was an excellent school that Rev. Green started some years ago it was exceptional, but it has changed and not for the best. My sons will not attend this school next year.

This is my daughters second year pre-k.First year i was really impressed with the school and teachers. With the progress of my child and the developement of the skills that were already taught at home.SEcond year i see big difference younger staff,no involvement with the children,ebonics being used,and teacher being absent from their classroom.Resulting in students being shuffled around.My case child is grouped with children that are just entering the center.Progression of learning is impaired.Have yet to meet the principal.$220 bi weekly is a small price to pay for my childs education,but to be educated is what is missing this year.There are some good points about the school, there are activities that parents,teachers and students are involved in.Parent turn-outs,donations,are great.I have done more than my share the first year.Being called upon by the school.Education is the key to a sucessful life..Next year she will not attened M.L.K

My problem with MLKEC does not lie with academics, but with classroom management. The majority of Teacher lack in this area. Although, academics are strickly enforced, students soon become problematic due to the lack of classroom management. The principal seems disinterested in the children and teachers, in general. She seems to have money on her mind, at all times. Latchkey is at an all time rate of $55 per week per student, and this is costly being that only half-day kindergarten and headstart is offered.

Good School the teachers are young and hip. Lacking Academic games and arts...there's no Science Lab, Library, music, band. 1 teacher teaches Math, English, Reading, Writing, Science, Social Studies, spelling. They need a variety of classrooms. The afternoon Latchkey is poor. Young kids are watching the children (18-21) They need a muture and elder person to do this. There's a lot of hitting, and too much horseplay. Teachers aren't strict discplinarians. My child has been here since k-2. Now I'm re-looking else`where.

This is my daughter's first year there and boy am I glad I enrolled her. The teachers are great and really love the art of teaching. Not many schools in Detroit can say that, but MLK can and mean it!
