Overall Rating : 3.2 out of 5.0 stars
Negatives:

– Ongoing rodent problem in building; “lunch room” is makeshift area in the auditorium.
– Very poor student-to-teacher ratio – 1 class had 29 kids!
– Agenda regarding race very non-mainstream & biased toward African-American plight over other minorities (Principal was previously in trouble for this).
– Unlocked doors allow almost complete uninhibited access.
– No gifted / accelerated classes.
– Classes cater to non-local transplants at the expense of time of enhancing local student studies.
– By 3rd or 4th grade students should be getting letter grades – but are still using Kindergarten type performance markers – makes it very hard for parents to assess child(ren)’s progress.

+ Good participation by parents
+ Many extra-curricular activities
+ Nice school garden

Corrupted ! Roaches were seen in lunch room. There’s no responsibility for their actions. Principal Madison doesn’t care about running the school . He gets ahead of himself by running around the school wavying his job position. This prinipal is not all there! He tends to charge at students in the lunch room for a simple accident as dropping food on the floor . Principal Madison is a liability to Ann Arbor Public Schools. Madison’s entire demeanor , actions and thought process is corrupted. Mr. Madison Is a baffling disaster.
I have been sending my kids to Dicken for 9 years. They have all had a wonderful experience. Great teachers, super supportive parents, bountiful school garden.
