Attended a two-day event here recently and wanted to share a small but meaningful moment that stood…read moreout. At the end of the event, only one restroom near the auditorium was left open. The others had been cleaned and locked since the venue was being prepped for the next day. The lines grew long, and with kids needing to go urgently, I approached one of the custodial staff to ask if any other restrooms were available. That's when I met Ana. She gently explained that everything else was closed but then took it upon herself to help. She contacted someone with the keys, walked all the way to another restroom, opened it up for us, and let in a few others as well. I knew it meant extra work and more cleaning, but she didn't hesitate. When I thanked her, she was so humble and simply said she was glad to help. These 5 stars are for you, Ana! You didn't expect anything in return, and you had no idea I'd write this review. I don't know if it'll ever reach you or make a difference, but this is my way of saying thank you for your quiet act of kindness. It truly meant a lot to us. Such kindness deserves to be appreciated. You're the best, Ana!

The schools grounds are quite nice. Big for a preparatory school, but nice for the kids to be able…read moreto walk the grounds before and after classes too. I went here once as a guest of my friend's alumni party a while back. It was quite an elaborate class reunion. They had tents set up with tables, almost like a wedding party gig. The food spread was quite nice as well. Warm and cold food items available. The campus alone is quite beautiful for a walk on a weekend. Mitt Romney went to school here. Walk of alumni in the courtyard. I have a few friends that are alumni to this school. It's a top 10 preparatory school, I think. I see why. The alumni I know are all successful and wickedly smart too.

Amazing Christian based education…read more Jesus is emphasized, not religion. Worth the financial sacrifice. Sure nothing is perfect, however my kids have come leaps and bounds here.

There are two good things about this school…read more.. Okay, there's probably more than that but there's definitely two that I know of for sure. 1. Ms. Vivian is probably dead and therefore no longer part of their staff. She was evil incarnate when she was working here (I should know, I had her for kindergarten). How the physical abuses got past the administration are beyond me, but this was a different time, and she was horrible. 2. Ms. Cook no longer works here either. She was a redheaded demon. No, seriously. I corrected her on her grammar when I was 12 or so (Mr. Matthews was a good English teacher) and she pretty much tried to shoot me with flaming arrows. Ever since then she would make up random things about me that were totally untrue just to get me in trouble. I hope she's dead too, really. Anyways, there still were plenty of great teachers here in my day; Mr. Matthews, Ms. Green, Ms. Ehardt, etc. But none of them work here now either. I guess since most of this stuff is irrelevant now, it's probably not very helpful. However, if you are considering sending your kids here for the Christian aspect I should tell you, they also did such a good job of teaching me to think independently that I experimented with Pagan beliefs in high school and definitely became an Atheist in college.

We had a very disappointing experience with Shrine Grade School last year. Before enrolling,…read moreseveral local teachers warned us about leadership and academics at Shrine, but we chose to give it a chance and quickly regretted it. The school was consistently disorganized. The principal seemed disengaged and unhappy in his role, while the assistant principal was unapproachable. Even their newsletters were full of grammatical errors--alarming for an academic institution. Most concerning was the school's push to hold back pre-K students. Even when classroom teachers said children were ready for kindergarten, administration insisted otherwise (this is the case for 3 different families we have spoken to). In our case, they repeatedly claimed our 4 y/o May-born daughter was "too young for Kindergarten," which is simply not true. We later learned this was likely due to a lack of kindergarten space, making the decision feel misleading and financially motivated. The one bright spot was our daughter's teacher, who was kind and capable, but strong classroom teaching cannot make up for weak leadership. Now that our daughter is at a new school, the difference in organization, communication, and overall educational environment is striking. I fear for Shrine's future if leadership and priorities do not change.

Known for having late singer songwriter Aaliyah as part of its alumni, the Detroit High School for…read morethe Fine and Performing Arts is a one of a kind public school in Motown. Offering not only general education studies, but more importantly art classes in a variety of mediums, this 9-12th grade school is herald as the best of the best among local public schools. Opened over a decade ago by Denise Darcel Davis, this premiere public school offers students studies in dance, television communications, theater, visual arts and more on top of math, science, English, etc. Students are accepted only on an audition/portfolio basis, so the stakes are high, but definitely worth it. The school moved in early 2000 to its multi-million dollar facility off of Cass Ave in Midtown. For those seeking a one up in the field of art this is the Detroit school to do it in. As an alumni myself I would first recommend attending for the brilliant art teachers and the advantage students receive in their field of study. The school days are a bit longer, but students of DSA receive the advantage, DSA students consistently score higher on Michigan standardized test than any local public school.

During the past year we had an exchange student who attended the Detroit School of the Arts, so…read morethere were lots of opportunities for us to interact with the teachers, staff and other students. Some of the pluses: 1) It's a beautiful campus. The building is new. It's bright and airy. It's very clean. There's a huge stage for preformances. 2) The counseling staff really seem to care about the students. Our student made a lot of adjustments on her class schedule and they were always willing to work with her. 3) The art-related classes are very good and they have a wide variety of options. On the downside: 1) Despite being given such a good opportunity, some of the students just aren't that serious about their art or their academic classes. There was a lot of skipping school to hang out at Wayne State or Starbucks. 2) The building itself is very tall with lots of stairs. If I was a student there I would not be happy about going up and down five or six flights 8-10 times a day. The elevator is only for students with medical disabilities that prevent them from taking the stairs. 3) I got a real shock when the first report card arrived and I saw that our student had a number of skipped classes and more than a dozen tardies. Frankly, I think the school should call you the first time your student misses class or is unually late with no reasonable excuse. I would have liked significantly more communication rather than having to hear about things way after the fact.
