Comstock Park schools
How are they, as a district?
And more specifically, how are the elementary schools?
TIA!

Re: Comstock Park schools
Hopefully good, since we just moved here!
I probably should have done more research myself before moving here, but a lot of DH's coworkers said they were good so we went with it.
They are okay. Definitely not the worst in the area, but defintely not the best though either. There's also a lot of great schools in West Michigan, so if they were compared on a wider range they'd probably be considered a fairly good district.
You can look at a link to PDF of MEAP scores in this article:

Thanks for your responses!
Hey freeburger, how are the property taxes in Comstock Park/Plainfield Twp? And how do you like the area as a whole- pros/cons? TIA!
To be honest, I have no idea about the taxes
I tend to let DH worry about house stuff, but from what he says they aren't bad.
I like the area, lots of parks, close to the city, family friendly. It's a small town, but with Alpine being close it makes it feel not as small if that makes sense. I love being close to shopping, groceries, etc. We live in the Westgate neighborhood and like it.
I grew up in Plainfield Twp. The property taxes are higher in Plainfield than they are in Comstock. I loved where I grew up, Northview was a great school district. I know it's gone down hill a little bit after school of choice started. A few things to be aware of: Plainfield Township can be a major pain when they want to be, ie: cars not being moved every day from the street/driveway, stuff in your yard, etc.
Are you looking for a place in that area, feel free to bounce street names/neighborhoods off of me. My parents and In-laws both still live there, so we are up that way constantly.
