The Lake Michigan Academy Progress Reports

As part of our exciting new initiative to make our awesome report cards more available, we thought we’d start by sharing an example of how to use the Report Cards for mid-term progress reports. Today, we’re featuring a school that uses a public template. And, stay tuned – our next post will showcase one of our custom-built private templates!


One of our schools, Lake Michigan Academy in Grand Rapids, MI, USA uses one of our public templates – Classic White – to build awesome progress reports every week.
