Junior: Greenhills is a diverse, tight knit community that has really helped me become more confident in my artistic abilities, writing, and performance overall. It's a really small school which makes it great for individualized learning and opportunities. This is only further enhanced by the array of diverse voices being heard. The literary classes in particular showcase some amazing books on diversity and inclusion. My main gripe with the school is its lack of diverse education resources- it isn't great at providing aid for neurodivergent kids. Some teachers also don't properly use the homework website and neglect updating or even showing grades for each academic term. Personally, the small student body has helped me grow to be a more confident individually but, it does get a bit boring and monotonous to just see the same people everyday. Overall, great school with some amazing opportunities, students, and staff.... Read 61 reviews

Parent: I have two sons that attend PSCA. While some consider the work "rigorous" my wife and I feel our boys are being pushed right to where they need to be. No more, that is neither feels "behind" and no less, that is, neither feels "bored". The teachers and students come from diverse backgrounds and are all very supportive. the parents are great too, except in the drop off/pick up line... But it beats 45 minutes on the bus....

Senior: Grades K-8, I went to public schools in South Lyon. I was not expecting to attend Detroit Catholic Central. However, I am very glad that I did attend Detroit Catholic Central. I have learned that it is okay to ask for help. Many of my teachers have taken valuable time out of their life to give me extra help. They have helped me grow in my faith throughout high school. They have also opened up many doors when it comes to college and making connections with people. There have been numerous times that I have already connected with Catholic Central grads in college and in the work world. The athletics have also been very impressive at Catholic Central. I have played in the State semifinals in the last two years in lacrosse. While I've attended Catholic Central, many state championships and even national championships have been won in numerous sports. Catholic Central has also shown that serving the community can be a great experience. The Catholic Central drive fundraiser is also amazing.... Read 112 reviews

Senior: Washtenaw Technical Middle College is an amazing school for diversity. I have noticed that the teachers actually care about their students and make sure that their student have the best professors. The staff loves to motivate and make sure students are passing classes. Whenever I was stuck in a class or felt unmotivated my base advisor was such a big help and helped me. WTMC just wants the best for their students and I love how they take their students mental health seriously. I really recommend this school for people! There's also a lot of clubs so everyone can fit in. This school has done an amazing job helping kids prepare for college especially since it's a middle college program.... Read 156 reviews

Alum: My time at Father Gabriel Richard proved to be a very formative experience in my development as a student, Catholic, and man. I met lifelong friends and learned to push myself outside my predetermined comfort zone. Athletically, FGR enabled me to better myself as an athlete and gave me the opportunities and facilities to flourish. I would recommend FGR to any prospective families and definitely intend to send my children here!... Read 85 reviews

Parent: Our children received (are receiving) an excellent college preparatory education in a robust and diverse Christian setting. Our two in college graduated from Novi Christian in 2017 (attended since preschool) and scored a 33 Composite and 32 Composite on the ACT. They both recieved the maximum scholarship available at their respective colleges. All three of our children participate(d) in athletics each season and fine arts, for a well-rounded awesome experience! The Christian mentoring from faculty and older students is invaluable and support our students' development into fine Chist-following adults.... Read 30 reviews

Parent: I can't speak highly enough about the Sisterhood and community feel at SCA! There is an outstanding big sister/little sister program to make new, younger students feel welcome. The students all seem happy, friendly and dedicated to their faith and studies. Academics are challenging and engaging, and the faculty is highly qualified. It's a large campus with a little campus feel - I highly recommend!... Read 53 reviews

Senior: My experience at South Lyon East high school has been remarkable. Throughout the years I've been in jazz band, marching band, link crew, student council, and National Honors Society. There have been many fun events and clubs I also could have been a part of. The staff is very supportive and we even have two service dogs to help with many students with anxiety. I will never forget this school; it feels like yesterday I was just a freshman entering the building for the first time very excited but terrified. GO COUGARS!... Read 199 reviews

Middle School Student: Good school, has its ups and downs though, there's little to no diversity, teachers are pretty good, if you get lucky like me and get all the cool teachers its enjoyable, the food is meh, my old friend chase threw up from the lunches one time, the only good food there, in my opinion, is the Bosco sticks, the school is kinda just average, besides the fact one of my teachers broke a world record (most people baking simultaneously online) every once in a while something fun happens....

Parent: The teachers, assistant and administrators at LCS are second to none! They care about each and every student and go above and beyond to ensure each one has an opportunity to thrive academically. Each of my children are so grateful for the loving, Christian environment where they are able to hear about Jesus every day. Excellent student to teacher ratio. School has moved to Brighton across from Brighton High School and is now very centrally located. I love that, thanks to the help of LCS, my oldest will graduate this year with a semester of college completed - free of charge! My children love playing sports at LCS, including cross country, soccer, volleyball and basketball. Coaches are top-notch in each sport. Livingston Christian Schools is a total blessing!...

Senior: A majority of the South Lyon school staff I have encountered have been invested in my individual success (personally and academically). The educators and student support staff frequently do more than what is required of their role, to assist students at risk or in need. There are several organizations/clubs that students can opt to join; the clubs and activities I participated in were supported by various school staff and coaches/mentors from within our community. Although certain activities tend to be highlighted a little more than others, overall the school community of South Lyon seems to celebrate any publicized wins or achievements (athletic and academic). The extracurriculars I was involved in regularly planned events that raised awareness and funds that gave back to the community. The school district does appear to want to create a variety of events that have potential to unite and involve multiple students with various interests (art, music, academic, athletics, etc…)....

Parent: My daughter started at KWoods about five years ago. We were , at first, concerned that the small school wouldn't have enough challenges and opportunities for her, but we were wrong. The teachers and varieties of experiences might have actually been more than a large school because everything was within her reach. At a large school she probably wouldn't have tried all the sports she tried, or been on leadership. She maintained her high grades, did well on her SATs, learned a ton about music and has had an all-around great experience with far less drama and no drugs or drinking. Great staff!...

Senior: I have been going to CSPA since my freshman year, and I love it! The teachers are very nice, and the classes are very challenging and fun! I have made some of the greatest friends at CSPA, ad I have learned to be more confident in myself and my capabilities. The school has high expectations academically and socially. Students are expected to be respectful of their peers and teachers and to do their best in class. I have thrived in the environment at CSPA and I think many more will too! The school also has great extracurricular programs! The robotics people are super cool and do a lot of fun things! There are lots of sports programs, but I have never gotten into sports or robotics programs. I have, however, participated in the art program exponentially. The art program is great! Creativity is encouraged and skill is built in all academic areas. Creativity is allowed in lots of different areas too! It’s a great school overall, and I recommend it.... Read 70 reviews

Parent: We've had a great experience switching from public schools to this Charter school. The teachers really zone in and figure out where your child needs to improve on academically. They have worked with her to build her confidence as well. All of the staff is friendly and extremely helpful. Our only dislike is there is no traffic light and it's a very big safety issue. Hopefully, the state Department of Transportation can install one in the near future before any fatal injures occur.... Read 3 reviews
