I was a student and graduated in the class of 2004. The teaching and learning atmosphere was like no other school I attended. The Vocational programs offered at this school prepare the student for a better chance to excel in his/her future career. I was in the Information Technology Vocational Course.
... Read more The school also offers a wonderful Senior Internship Program that allows the student to use their skills in an actual working environment. Mr. Alvarado was the principal at the time of my attending, he was also the one of the key personal that stood the school up and designed most of the curriculum. I don't know if he is still the principal but if he is he was an amazing mentor, leader and the glue of the school. Read less

Academy of Inkster is not a good school at all. The teachers are hard working and try to teach, but the problem is the students. Most of the students are mean and rude. Its hard for good students to learn because of all drama and corruption that goes on there. If you are a hard-working dedicated student,

I have taught the students of the Academy of Inkster for about 4 years. As a former member of the staff, I would like to say that the Academy has many strengths and many weaknesses. I have witnessed Mr. Alvarado putting his neck on the line in order to try something new to get the desired results.
... Read more The teaching staff is very supportive of his vision for the school. I suggest that parents who have children who failed miserably at other high schools or in middle school will find that their child will be challenged with lots of homework and a rigerous curriculum. Unmotivated students should not be enrolled in that school because the desired standard will outpace their level of expectation. Read less

I am proud to say that the Academy of Inkster is my Alma-Mater. Speaking as an alumnus I've found this to be an excellent place to learn and grow. The academic programs offered were great. There was supplemental study, which allowed students to catch up with their classwork and recieve one on one tutoring.
... Read more There were also constructive extra curricular programs such as Sewing classes offered after school, the roller coaster team, and even a pom-pom squad. One of the most rewarding programs was the internship available during our senior year. This allowed us to leave campus and go to a company and work for school credit and experience. The staff knew mostly everyone by name and the principal was always involved. Anyone who is considering this school I urge you to enroll your child, it's not that big but the smaller the class size the easier it is to learn. Read less
