Battle Creek Public Schools 3 West Van Buren Street, Battle Creek, MI 49017

"It is simply a bad organization, just for registering a child to school it is a media show, they should completely change the personnel, let's see if something changes, they make your life impossible, a simple disaster, I complied with all the registration and requirements, in the end they did not resolve what I was looking for and I know that there is a school that does not help our children."

"I'm a 2 job working mother and I forgot to update my kids and I's address over the summer so one of my boys was being sent to a school across the city and it wasn't going to work with our schedule so I called student services freaking out but the lady who answered was calm and informative and helped me sort everything out less than a day before school. Thank you so much!"

"One of the reasons we moved to Battle Creek was because Lakeview Schools have a great reputation. But then we got excited about all of the innovative changes and commitment from WKKF to Battle Creek Schools. We ended up moving into the district and my son now attends the STEM Innovation Center, a middle school. I have been impressed time and time again by the teachers - whether virtual or in-person - they are amazing. The first day of in-person school, the principal recognized my son (even with a mask on) and greeted him by name! The district really cares about families, especially in the pandemic - they send kids home with food. Lakeview is great, but we've really found a school-home at Battle Creek Public Schools."

"Moved my children to the battle creek public schools from the Pennfield district and I totally regret it. The guy in the student services department is very rude and also the guy at the busing garage. They certainly do not care about keeping kids safe. The pennfield district shows more concern for children and they do not have a problem picking children up in front of their homes. They also travel as close as possible to other districts to pick children up."

"I never was a fan of battle creek public schools to begin with when I was in school, but now that my son is in school my opinon only worsened. Completely unorganized and rude. I have had so many issues with the district it's not even funny. And then when I tried to get my son into a different district I was told that I didn't have a good enough reason. So the fact that you, the staff, can't hold it together which makes me worried what the learning environment is like, that's not a good enough reason. the fact that you told me the elementary school for where I live is A and then find out it's B, then go to that B schools orientation only to have him not in a class and they have no record of my son at all(even though I was in there weeks before orientation)then to go to the class room where my son was just penciled in only to find the teachers on fb not paying attention to the kids or parents. No explanation of the work they will be doing. No getting to know my son or my son getting to know her. how can you tell me you care about my sons education when you show nothing but disrespect towards him and me and be so unorganized but expect the best out of your students. Yeah, no thank you. charter school it is and will be for my son until high school."
