A small section of the city lies in the school zone designated for the Melvindale-Northern Allen Park Public Schools district. Both districts provide students with a challenging curriculum that is meant to bring out the best in each student.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Allen Park District Curriculum
Elementary schools use the 6+1 Traits of Writing curriculum as part of their Language Arts program. This curriculum was developed by teachers and curriculum experts and acts as a framework for writing throughout the grade levels. The traits students will study and practice include ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, conventions, and presentation. As students work through each trait, they will be assessed using a standard rubric.
The high school Language Arts curriculum is focused on units of study for freshmen and sophomores, while juniors and seniors can choose courses more tailored to their interests. Freshmen study units that are meant to prepare them for more rigorous work in the upper grades. Units include research, novels, and comparing and contrasting literary works. Sophomores study units based on novels and genres such as Huck Finn and Gothic Literature.

Chalk Talk: Longer Hours and Shorter Weeks
A new trend taking place in American schools is changing the way we look at a typical school week. For decades, students have attended school Monday through Friday for seven hours each day. Some research has shown that students are more productive and successful when the school week is shortened to four days and the school day is extended to ten hours. When you look at a typical seven hour school day and begin to dissect it, you find out that students typically spend less than four of those hours on actual school work. You have to account for things such as lunch, recess, P.E., bathroom breaks, and travel between classes. The research has also shown that teachers and students feel rushed to cram everything into each day and often valuable remediation time is sacrificed. As more research is done on the subject, schools may find that they need to shift their calendars in order to be successful and effective.
