Research Chatfield School Charter Schools in Burton, Michigan

“I am a teacher [not at Chatfield] whose son goes to Chatfield and I have been totally impressed by the quality of education that he has received there. I am from a whole family of educators and feel that everything about the school is exceptional compared to other schools that I have either worked at or are familiar with.”

“I go to Chatfield and i think it is a great school. This school gives students a wide variety of opportunities.”

“This school is unfailingly innnovative. The classroom structure includes working with small groups at various stations. The students phsically move throughout the day to areas that house specifi subject matter materials; therefore they can buy (for example) very high quality mathematical aides for the whole school to share, rather than cheaper, duplicate aids for each calssroom. They do a LOT of class work outdoors. They incorporate tactile & kinethetic learning methods. They are even incorporating alternative energy sources into the schools' infrastructure. I AM the ultimate over-protective parent; rarely is anything good enough for my darlings. But Chatfield is everything I could dream of in a school. I have to provide meals & snacks & trasportation but, it is more than worth it for my girls to get such an amazing school experience”

“I am a second year parent and am overly impressed with Chatfield school overall. I have been happy with all the staff and the accriculum.”

“All of my children have attended this school, and my experience thus far, has been dismall when it comes to administrative quality. However, even though most of the teachers instill leadership qualities in their students, parent/teacher communication needs to greatly improve. There is no communication between principal and parent. Rules are not enforced by the principal or administrative staff. If it were not for some of the outstanding teachers at Chatfield, this school would never be one I would reccomend to others.”

“My experience with Chatfield has truly been a positive one. I pulled my children out of public schools to attend and do not regret that decision. I have three children that have attended Chatfield (my middle child being the first class to go from kindergarten to sixth grade). Each has received lots of hands-on learning in an environment that has supported their individual needs. My son has scored consistently in the 95+ percentile statewide on all tests. The teachers and staff truly love their jobs, which is evident on the number of 'extras' the children are exposed to. From the daily classroom work to discovering the outdoors...I'm in awe over the things my children have learned. Hats off to a job well done!”

“This is a great School for any student to go to. It is like a family in it's own. The children get more one on one attension and they learn a lot more then public schools can give. Job well done.”
