Westside Christian Academy

My names is James Coakley, Detroit Community in my eyes is more than just a school it's a family. Im very thankful for all the things the staff does for not just the students but the parents also. Detroit Community goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to the students. Coats are given to students in the winter at no charge, backpacks and all school supplies are given to the students free of charge which is a big help to us as parents. Detroit Community School academic curriculum goes above state standards which prepares the students for the next grade level and beyond. The staff is always available to talk and meet at all times with parents and students. Detroit Community School also provides free tutoring as well as latch key and aftercare for students that assist parents with later work schedules. Detroit Community School is A true blessing for me as a parent. I highly suggest parents look into enrolling their children in Detroit Community School K-12.

My grandchildren has been going to this school sense pre-k and two of them has graduated to middle school and I have a granddaughter still attending and she love her teachers very much I’m proud to have been apart of this school for over five years I volunteer time to time.

I have several years experience with this school. Pros: The change to no cell phones in 24-25 has been a big improvement. Test scores have improved quite a bit this year. The teachers here are very good. Chromebooks are 1-to-1 this year. Cons: Admin turnover is high. Teacher turnover is high in ELA and SPED. There are a lot of fights. Metal detectors, bag searches, and security guards have been implemented recently. Attendance is very low (over half the school is chronically absent).Nurse: NO, Psychologist: NO, Security Guards: YES

Viral video going around on facebook, staff was bullying a student. Do not go here
