Renaissance High School

Senior: I love attending Renaissance High school! It's a beautiful campus, the teachers are polite and helpful and the students are very friendly. The workload of a Renaissance student is rigorous but it is beneficial to future college experience and readiness. I would improve the number of teachers so class sizes could be a little smaller and a wider variety of courses.

Davis Aerospace High School

• Detroit Public Schools Community School District, MI
• 9-12
• 64 reviews

Alum: My years at Davis was quite different from others who went to a "normal school" I had the opportunity to be in the flight program at Davis. Although now the program is discontinued it has prepared me for better opportunities in the future. Now Davis is moving more on drone certification more then the flying part. But over all that high school is a great college preparedness school. Administration will help you with anything college. I'm happy I choose Davis Aerospace. Class of 2016!

• 9-12
• 38 reviews

Junior: At Benjamin Carson High School for Science & Medicine, I was introduced to many classes that were different than the school I transferred from. The school opened my eyes to diverse career pathways. They also give students many different opportunities to experience what its like to be in the medical field. At Ben Carson, I've gained an interest in becoming a RN or a Pediatrician. Previously, I was very simple-minded when it came to my major in college. In conclusion, being a student at Benjamin Carson High School for Science & Medicine has really been a learning experience.

Detroit School of Arts

• Detroit Public Schools Community School District, MI
• 9-12
• 304 reviews

Senior: I’ve been a Detroit School of Arts atendee for four years now, and I can say these four years have been remembrance. I have grown and developed into a more mature person than before. DSA is an excellent school who celebrate not only academics but students love for the arts. This is a very cultural school and has many safe environments and essentials for students. These four years have been very amazing. Throughout my high school career I feel like I have learned a lot to be able to face like after high school. Though one thing I would want for the school is more opportunities for students who have different interest in certain categories. DSA is a school who celebrates the arts so the mention of sports aren’t really mentioned as much. Thought there are many extra curriculum activities that students may be able to participate in.
