Detroit Leadership Academy

"This school was an *experience* for me. I’m happy that I attended here even if it was only for two years. I have so many funny stories I can tell from my years here but I won’t waste anyones time. But if there is one thing I will say it’s about a teacher. Ms.Lewis.. If anyone ever had a problem or needed help she would swoop in and help them ASAP. If I was ever struggling in class she would come over and assist me in any way she could. She always told the class funny stories to get us in the mood of learning and make us laugh, like her “nacho cheese” story. I can’t wait to go back up there and see her and the school again!"

"My daughter attended for 3 years. She's only leaving because we're moving. We love it here and we're going to miss everyone."

"One of the worst schools I have been apart of! Kids run the school! Fights every day and then threats of gun fights afterwards. The pay is the lowest I have received And then they had the basketball team play and practice for a whole season, with one rim! They told me I would be interviewed for the jv and varsity job, cancelled my interviews, then went and hired a football coach to take my position, then told me, they weren't having season! Who treats people like that? I coached and developed talent on that team for 2 years I don't even get a interview? I hope they close down."

"The school is a small intimate network of teachers, support team, parents, and most importantly students. Student get to achieve at their own level/pace while striving to meet/reach required academic standards. I love the character development and social skills expected from students. While the school can be more proactive in keeping parents informed on activities & events and leadership mainly principals change from year to year the structure seems to remain in tact."

"I've extremely happy with this school. The staff is friendly, professional and caring. The school is clean, and the children seem happy to be there. I'm proud that my son is attending (good his second year). I plan for my daughter to one day attend."
