What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, October 16, 2012

My daughter and son started Bagley this 2012 Fall year. I believe the principal has strong leadership skills and is leading Bagley to a high performing school in Detroit. We hear many negative views about DPS schools, but I have seen Bagley make transitions since the beginning of the school year and am happy with the direction that they are going. The Administrative staff is kind, helpful and very professional. I look forward to teaming up with Bagley all year as a parent to make sure that our children receive a quality education. Close Quote
