Dear Current and Prospective Mitchell, Scarlett and Huron Families,
We are pleased to share exciting news about the continuing improvements at Mitchell Elementary School, Scarlett Middle School and Huron High School.
International Baccalaureate
First and foremost, Mitchell, Scarlett and Huron are working to become International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools. You probably know this already. If you do not, more information can be found at http://ib.a2schools.org. Becoming IB schools is important because it help us take the next step in becoming even more effective teaching and learning environments.
While the IB website has a lot of helpful information, we would like to answer any questions you have about IB. Please ask us – or ask a teacher. We want to help!

Excellence at Mitchell, Scarlett and Huron
Mitchell, Scarlett, and Huron High School have recently been recognized as excellent schools in Michigan by a school rankings website called Niche (http://k12.niche.com).
● Mitchell was ranked 198 out of 1463 elementary schools in Michigan (top 14%)
● Scarlett was ranked 43 out of over 700 middle schools in Michigan (top7%)
● And Huron High School, where Scarlett students will typically go to high school, was
the 5th ranked high school in Michigan (top 1%).
While we know our families understand the excellence of our schools, it is pleasant to see this recognized outside of our immediate community as well. The Niche ranking system takes into account test scores, experiences of students and families, and other factors. The methodology used by Niche is listed on their website.
Learner Profile
The IB Learner Profile is connected to our work to become IB schools, and it represents the way we talk about learning from now on. For example, learners try to be INQUIRERS, KNOWLEDGEABLE, COMMUNICATORS, PRINCIPLED, OPEN-MINDED, CARING, RISK-TAKERS, BALANCED, and REFLECTIVE.
We want parents and their children to talk about learning at home using the same words we use at school:
-
● Read the IB Learner Profile
-
● Use the IB Learner Profile words when talking about learning and how to learn at home
-
● Put your copy of the IB Learner Profile on your refrigerator so you can refer to it later.
