Senior: I have had the best high school education at Divine Child High School. DC has focused its mission on prepping students like me for college careers and futures beyond then. I have had many AP and honors classes at Divine Child, and my teachers have prepared me well and have dedicated so much of their time towards making my fellow classmates and I better students and even better people. I have enjoyed some of the clubs and extracurricular activities that are offered. I have played varsity soccer, and been apart of my school’s Varsity Club, NHS, and Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica....

Senior: At GR, everybody knows everybody. It's a very tight-knit community, and it really does feel like a family. Athletics are really good, but it's the only extracurricular that the administration seems to care about (specifically football, basketball, and baseball). I do love the small class sizes because the teachers will pay attention to you. The required classes are usually larger but it doesn't make a big difference. Given it's a Catholic school, there's always something that makes students mad like random decisions to enforce strict rules or controversial topics in Theology class. The English and Social Studies departments are really good. In other subjects, it's more difficult since the teachers are changing almost every year. Even though GR has its ups and downs, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.... Read 171 reviews

Alum: No school is perfect. However, I also have never gone to any other school. What I can say having been a student from Kindergarten to a senior is that this is a very good Christian school with challenging academics. Your classes aren’t that big either (average 20 to 30) so you will easily make friends and get to know different people. The teachers are good with interacting with the students and preparing us for college. They also have a good variety of sports and there is drama during the summer. However there aren’t really any clubs. They do have a music program with band, orchestra, and chimes/handbells. There is also Chorale and Choir. All in all, it is a great school.... Read 22 reviews

Senior: Detroit Cristo Rey overall is a great school with a great community around it. They give you unique opportunities for example giving you an office job around the areas close to each other, but not small companies. I'm talking about working at GM, Chrysler, Ford, Ideal Group, etc. You work with the same or different companies for the 4 years of high school and it gives you four years of experience of work while you are still in high school and can look good in your future resume. The education is great with teachers being elaborate with students and classes barely going over 20 students per class. And the sports teams are very good making the school volleyball team and soccer team one of the best in the area. Overall the school is great and a good experience for the students....

Parent: The proof for me is that my daughter counts down the hours until she goes back because she's thriving and loving it! She wants to become a principal or teacher because of the admiration and love she has for the staff here. (Her words not mine and she's six!) Me and her dad couldn't be any happier that we are blessed that our daughter gets the opportunity to attend Triumph.... Read 1 review

Alum: For students looking for a small school with an accommodating curriculum, Taylor Prep is the perfect school for you. The education is very helpful, in that it builds upon the students understanding of an academic subject, rather than just testing them without consideration for their learning. The building and student body of Taylor Prep is particularly small, by which students are more likely to build personal connections with teachers and receive individualized learning. I personally had a good four years attending this school, and was able to make friends with students and teachers. However, I will say this school is new, and not as well as established in education and extracurricular activities as others. Also, it may be tougher for new students to make friends here, as once again, the student body is small. Anyone who has a problem with uniforms or wants to seriously compete in student athletics should not attend.... Read 28 reviews

Parent: A safe Christian school. Very esteemed alumnus too many to name. Graduates of this school have gone on to accomplish great things. Enough credit has not been given to the warmth, peace and love that exudes from these walls. I'm afraid though that times are changing and the parents now do not value the wholistic need for a well rounded Christian education built on the foundation of Christ. The children here receive a stellar education, build long lasting friendships and also learn about the importance of putting Christ first. Teacher/student ratio is 6:1. Great school! A hidden gem....

Senior: I love the community of Trillium Academy. In my nine years at this school, I have never felt like a number. The teachers, though their turnover rate is rapid, are incredibly invested in their students, academically and personally. No student goes unnoticed at TAHS. Trillium is also great for students looking for an opportunity to practice leadership. Attending a K-12 school allows high school students to gain leadership experience with the elementary students. They even offer a mentoring program where students K-5 are paired with a high school student to meet and build a relationship once a week. Definitely don't see opportunities like that at a typical public high school!... Read 61 reviews

They’re starting to take the good teachers out to make them Dean’s or put them somewhere else. I’m noticing that the teachers that have been there a long time are quitting/resigning. They not paying enough for those teachers to teach that type of curricular in that short amount of time... Read 8 reviews

Alum: I graduated from Henry Ford Academy in 2007 amongst the top students in my class. This school was everything I needed from an education system under a college prep program. The resources were amazing and seemed unlimited. And I must say, going to school in a historic site (Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village) was quite amazing. There were lessons to be learned all over the place. The faculty and staff were very inclusive and made sure to give each student the same opportunity to excel. If I could go to a college modeled around the curriculum, education, and experience of Henry Ford Academy, i’d sign up in a heartbeat! All year mesmerizing scenery is also available. Students at this school truly get an experience like no other.... Read 261 reviews

Parent: I have had the pleasure of having my student at DEPSA since Pre-K. He has learned so much, the expectations are clear and set high for the students and the staff. He has gotten a good foundation by starting in Pre-K. He is now an honor student and works very hard to keep his grades up. The staff is so professional and helpful and they really work with the students to ensure that they are successful. I love DEPSA!... Read 177 reviews

Senior: At Anderson, I loved the energy and spirit you could feel at any school event. Football games, dances and assemblies were nothing short of amazing. I will never forget the memories I made there and the amount of support and enthusiasm I felt while attending. The feeling of walking into one of our football games is unmatched. The positivity and enthusiasm from most teachers and staff is encouraging and made going to school everyday a positive experience. I felt very comfortable and cared for by my teachers. The teachers there made learning fun and easy to understand. I love our wide variety of clubs and sports and how well they allow students to connect and make things happen. Overall I feel that Anderson is truly a great high school. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I am grateful for the amazing memories I have made there.... Read 377 reviews

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.... Read 3 reviews

Senior: I have been a part of Cesar Chavez since Kindergarten and I always liked the school. Finishing 8th grade, I was given the opportunity to change schools and I was so close to submitting an application to a different High School. After much consideration, I realized Cesar Chavez is my home. The staff is incredibly helpful and easy to get along with. Teachers are patient, kind, helpful, understanding, and more. Our grade level mentors are always there to inspire us to do better and constantly giving us the resources that are needed for our classes, work, or even our future. I can really say that Cesar Chavez focuses on helping every individual succeed in life and make sure we all have a memorable High School experience.... Read 135 reviews
