#11 Best Private High Schools in Michigan
Junior: The High provides so many opportunities for any person who enters its halls. From the athletes who are looking to find great teams, staff, and facilities, to the science kids looking for areas to expand and grow in the lab. UofD offers a home for every person there. It doesn’t come without challenges though! UofD will offer a heavy workload and a challenging curriculum so be prepared for challenging years. Overall, I would recommend this school to any other person.

#144 Best Public High Schools in Michigan
Freshman: As a freshman at Cass Technical High School, I love the diversity of the school and the opportunities they have to offer! I would recommend Cass for an incoming freshman and increase their chances of having better SAT/ACT scores and deciding on what college they want to attend after 12th grade. They also offer amazing clubs and activities to do after school! Being involved with extra curriculums is important and can increase being social when applying for jobs and scholarships. Although nothing is perfect, Cass is one of the best high schools in Michigan to offer to newcomers.

#88 Best Private High Schools in Michigan
Senior: Al-Ikhlas has been an amazing and rocky experience for me. I’ve seen the worst and the best of it. Al-Ikhlas Is a school that focuses on religion more than activities which is great, however, there should be a limit. I feel like increasing activities and field trips will make ATA a better and a comfortable place.

Sophomore: Hello! I’m Steph a sophomore at DCR. Genuinely this school wants you to succeed and with this type of attitude it really makes you want to live up to this expectation. Sometimes it can be stressful but honestly it is all worth it. The corporate work study program is amazing. I work at Ford Motor Company and I can say my experience has been great my supervisors give me work that’s up to par with someone who’s been working there for 20 years. They treat me as an equal at work and at school. I love it here.

Renaissance High School
Detroit Public Schools Community School District, MI
9-12
951 reviews
Senior: Throughout my experience with Renaissance High School, I have created many memories and many friends. Renaissance High school has become a great school for me that has vigorous classes that will prepare me for college and the outside world. The atmosphere is amazing, and the school spirit is astronomical. I wouldn’t trade the high school experience for the world, and I will truly miss it. One thing I would change about Renaissance High would be the disconnect between the teachers and the students. When it comes to school ideas, fundraisers, etc., the administration doesn’t listen to the students and ultimately does what they would like to do. Sometimes with this process creates animosity within our school. Other than those instances, I wouldn’t change much when it comes to Renaissance high school.

Junior: As a current high school student at DEPSA's high school, Early College of Excellence (ECE), I can inform others that DEPSA is a really great school that challenges learners and is sure to prepare your child for college. School uniforms are must and are set to a high expectation. Staff and administration are very kind and supportive to every student, as well as the excellent school counselor. DEPSA has some of the best sports teams and players while our girls and boys basketball team are very active in games throughout the state. There are many ways for not only students, but parents also to stay connected. Whether it is through parent meetings, communication with teachers and staff, or through apps to keep up with grade and homework. DEPSA is great for any student who not only wants to receive a great education, but the right education.

Parent: Loyola High School in Detroit is a private, Catholic School of the Archdiocese of Detroit. It is doing an excellent job at preparing my senior for college, in addition to exposing him to a variety of career options. My senior has been on the basketball team where he is receiving exposure from different college scouts as well. Overall, if your student is an athlete, thrives in a small school setting, and will benefit from one-on-one instruction, I'd recommend Loyola High School in Detroit!

Senior: My academic experience at this school have been excellent. Although this is the only high school I've attended thus far I believe it's the best in my district and neighborhood. The school is very active in programs to help students and the community in the area, the staff actively engage with students and show interest in assisting their futures. The teachers preform excellently at the their jobs and their strong personalities resonate with many students, thus these teachers build good relationships with students. Finally, although the building seems small from afar the interior is modern and student friendly! There are many student resources and technology are aways available.

Detroit Merit Charter Academy
Public School
Detroit, MI
K-8
3 reviews
Middle School Student: I attended DMA from Kindergarten to 8th grade. It's very organized and all the teachers want you to be the best you can be. The best thing about being at merit was the agendas they handed out to help us remember when he was due or we had a test. One the things I wasn't to keen on was the color chart. The color chart consisted of 4 colors green, yellow, blue, and red. If you were on green that means you did not get in trouble for the whole day. Yellow meant someone had to tell you something and you got a warning. You could get on yellow if you did not have your agenda signed by your parent or guardian. Blue meant you were on the verge of getting a pink slip(suspended). Red meant you did get the pink slip and you were suspended for a week.

Middle School Student: Very good school I would highly recommend. The only big big problem is that the food is absolute garbage. If you come here, PLEASE try to get a new lunch program because the food really needs to be changed. Also, our sports teams are really good, the issue is that they only have a few sports (volleyball and basketball). They need to have more clubs. The clubs that they do have almost all meet on Thursday for some reason. Overall, come here.

Sophomore: University Prep Academy High school, it’s more than just a school. It’s a family, we bond, we come together as a community. Uprep focuses on preparing students for college. This is shown by the work that students are given and all the teachers that teach everyday! This school really does prepare you for college, it teaches you responsibility, ethics, and life lessons. This school is so much more than walking into a classroom and being talked at. The commitment that the teachers have inspire the students to do better. A class room at Uprep is a mini community, where we talk amongst eachother and learn. Most students come into school and don’t learn anything, but at Uprep failure is never an option.

Senior: Academics are a top priority for this school. Being one of the only IB (International Baccalaureate) schools in the district, DEPSA strives for greatness for every single student. The school has a good basketball team and prioritizes student athletes as well. The environment is an overall friendly one and the counselors are very helpful, however there have been plenty of challenges when it comes to organization. Additionally, are some issues when it comes to administration listening and considering students ideas for change.

Parent: Great school that has allowed my 3 children the opportunity to grow as both academic achievers and Christ minded in their interactions with other kids their age through interaction and examples of their teachers and older aged peers. The school does a great job with integrating older students as role models and younger learners get to have first hand experiences with positive models on a daily basis. The caring nature of the staff and small class sizes are instrumental to my kids success. For my family, HCA has been the most economical and God focused school within Kalamazoo and holds great potential for my kids to become actively serving young adults within this community and God's kingdom. I would recommend this school to any parent looking for an alternative to public schooling with Christ at the center.

Burgundy Farm Country Day School

Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!
