John D. Pierce Middle School 5145 Hatchery Road, Waterford Township, MI 48329

"I’ve had 2 children attend Pierce and both have succeeded there. The teachers go out of their way to help the kids succeed, but it’s up to the kids to put some effort in as well. Parents need to support the teachers and make sure their kids know what behavior is expected of them. There are advanced classes available for high achievers and support for those who need it as well."

"My son attended Pierce for 3 years and had an excellent experience. His teachers made sure he was challenged and the elective classes were outstanding! He excelled in High School and college and is very successful in his chosen career. The staff and the students were great! I believe school is what each student and family make it. Thanks everyone at Pierce!"

"The staff is amazing! From support staff to kitchen staff and teachers, the students' well being is the first concern. My daughter really enjoyed her three years at Pierce and is doing really well at Kettering."

"This school is amazing! I have met some life long friends there. The teachers are nice and try to help everyone to their ability! The teachers are getting us ready for the future. There has been some rough times but they have taken care of it. "The school is only as good as we make it" and I would recommend this school to anyone!! My 3 years have been a blast and have so many memories here and my favorite teachers too. I was crying as I was walking out today as an 8th grader. I have been changed by my teachers and I thank them so much for everything!!!!!"

"My children both went to Pierce Middle School and they loved it! What a wonderful school. Teachers and staff are wonderful and always do what's in the best interest of children. I'm so glad that my children received their education at Pierce!"
