Scarlett is an okay school but I would never send my child there. The children are wild, and some teachers can't handle it.
4 10/10/2025
Scarlett is an amazing school! Seriously, some of the best instruction happening in Ann Arbor! The staff, teachers, and admin do whatever they can to help their students succeed in any and every way. Scarlett is the most diverse school in the state of Michigan, and with diversity comes the challenge of people doing things in different ways and all the hardships people face in life. Scarlett serves many low-income families who do not have the money and access to resources that other Ann Arbor families do (over 50% of our student qualify for free/reduced lunch). Still, Scarlett continues to provide high quality academic preparation and is a safe space for families to access support no matter what their personal situation.
