I have met great people that want the best and work very hard for their students. The way policies, rules and issues are executed is a problem.

I have about four generations of family members that attended this school including myself from kindergarten until sixth grade. Times have changed and the neighborhood doesn't look the same anymore but that has nothing to do with the care for each individual child. I must say I was impressed. Values as well as education are greatly exercised by the male leadership in the school. Many of the children are poverty stricken but that's never an issue well you can't tell if it is and I strongly believe that's because of the family style learning environment. One of the secretaries stand at the door every morning and literally greet 98% of the children by name & encourage them to have a great day. Breakfast lunch & dinner is offered daily. Another thing that I like is the fact that your child's learning is monitored & will place them with the studies needed so my son didn't have to work on a lower level. I could go on I see Great potential for Burns it's like a diamond in the rough. The PTSO are much involved, the children are imperfectly perfect & the entire staff appears to truly care

I AM A FORMER GRADUATE OF HENRY FORD AND HAVE HEARD ABOUT ALL THE CHANGES, SOME GOOD BUT MOST BAD. WITH MIND FRAME OF LOCAL GOVERMENT AND TEACHERS ATTITUDES TOWARDS STUDENTS, THEY ARE NO LONGER THE CARRAIGE THAT TOTALLY TAKES YOUR CHILD TO THE NEXT STEP OF GETTING YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER INTO COLLEGE. TO GET WHAT YOU FEEL YOUR CHILD DESERVES, THE ALONG WITH THE STUDENT MUST TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THE STUDENT GETS ACCESS TO WHAT THE SCHOOL MIGHT NOT OFFER. WITH THAT BEING SAID IS FORD A GOOD OR BAD SCHOOL, NO NOT AT ALL. CASS TECH, DESPITE ITS GRADIOSO IMAGE OF THE PAST ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE. RENNISANCE IS THE SAME JUST, IN ASPANKING NEW BUILDING WITH THE SAME TEACHERS AS IN ANY OTHER PUBLIC SCHOOL. THE KEY TO BETTER EDUCATION IN FORD IS NOT JUST MAKING SURE YOUR KID GETS TO SCHOOL, BUT AS A PARENT GETTING INVOLVED AND SEEING WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING TO THE TABLE TO MAKE NOT ONLY YOUR CHILD BUT FORD A BETTER SCHOOL.
