My husband and I have multiple children at Blanche Sims that attended the original school and now the new building. New building, but same wonderful teachers and learning environment. In the past I was a staff associate and enjoyed working at the school. We recommend this school 10/10.

My child has had a great 6 years at this school. Even with a change in the principal the quality stayed the same.

Blanche Sims has been amazing for my son! I remember sitting down for conferences with his 1st grade teacher, and her telling me how he was reading and acting out plays in front of the class. This completely amazed me, because he has always disliked speaking to groups. The amount of not only academic growth, but social growth, that happens at this school is astounding. It is an incredible environment where kids can flourish because they are truly supported every step of the way. I could not have asked for a better elementary education for my son.

Great great great school! We have moved to another district and boy do i miss blanche sims. Faculty knows your child by name. They are very patient with children, and have a good discipline method which has taught my son a lot of valuable qualities. Teachers and prinicpal are very friendly, as well as the staff bearing the cold and rain to help students get out of vehicles and inside. Great at keeping the drop off traffic flowing. The school is just amazing, and we really miss it.

We have three children currently attending Blanche Sims. First off, the staff is great. There is constant communication with email, phone, send-homes ect. our children are doing very well and I credit this to the attention the Staff gives to each student individually. Of the 5 years we have dealt with the school each has been a pleasure. The school itself is located within the Village of Lake Orion. This offers many activities for the students such as walks to the local merchants to learn about our town and things offered within the community, trips to LOFD and LOPD Stations. Would not change schools for anything.

My child is on his third year at blanche sims and has adhd, I cannot believe the lack of understanding and patience that have been shown by the principal and some teachers towards my child.I am seriously considering changing districts considering I have to drive him to school and pick him up everyday due to the horrendous transportation dept.
