*Special Need Parents**My child attended Fisher Lower Magnet for a year and a half. I removed my child on February 6 due catching a special needs teacher name Mark M. yelling at my child saying he's lazy, sorry and much more. An immediate investigation was initiated but no update has been made. I do suggest every parent of a Special needs child get Angel Sense and pin it to your child to ensure their safety

Not good nor bad, students disrespect teachers and teachers will too. Sometimes I wish I could leave this school but I have some teachers I like and they brighten my day.

Denby is located in the 48205 zip code, which the Detroit News deemed Michigan s Deadliest Zip Code. The majority of our students live in the 48205 and 48234 zip codes. Over the last 15 years this area has been one of the hardest hit in the country. Many of the students served by Denby come from an impoverished background. It has the highest number of abandoned structures, the highest parole and probation rate, a very high unemployment rate and is plagued by high illiteracy rates. These conditions normally result in high dropout rates. Denby has done a great job of supporting students and families with wrap around services to address the many issues facing the students. They do a great job of creating a family atmosphere to support students. Their college advisor does a great job of exposing students to post-secondary opportunities. They have also created many student led auxiliaries and clubs that students are engaged in. They, like all other Detroit area schools, are focusing on raising academics and attendance. Denby however, recognizes that you must also address the conditions that hinder academic success. These are some of the major reasons why Denby is a GREAT SCHOOL!
