As a former student I cannot say anything about the school's current quality. This school is good for anyone who has an interest in allied health careers. It is not for everyone, but it will defiantly rule out anyone who does not have a true passion for health careers and helping people. If Mrs. Booningburg is still teaching that is all that matters. She helped me realized my potential. I was about to drop out of school before I found MHA. I am now currently enrolled in Oakland Community College's Nursing program. Oakland Community College does not have a waiting list and they accept 220 students each fall based on GPA and a math dosing calculation test. Before I enrolled in this school my GPA was 2.5, and after it reached 3.3. I am now a 3.92 GPA in the nursing program (expected graduation date April 2013) and have been on the Dean s list every semester since I've enrolled in College. The curriculum I learn at MHA has helped me through my prerequisites and current studies. In addition, it gave me the confidence and determination to follow my dream career. I honestly do not think I would be in the position I am today without this school as my foundation.
I am very upset that I choose this school for my daughter. The people that they have running this school are all very unprofessional. they have a tardy policy that is unreal. if your child is late to school they have detention even if you have called due to traffice,death,car problem etc If the child can not attend detention on the day that they are tardy to school they suspend them for 1 day. I am a parent who works and cant take a day off of work because you have such rules that are not human like .They have teachers who teach 3 and 4 subjects who are over whelmed and can not handle the children of today.
i use to be a student at mha and i can tell you now going to a ann arbor public school that it was hard trying to catch up and i was lost there for i wouldn't not send any one there coming in to a big school they showed me things i never saw in mha
If you are a parent reading these reviews, you will see the major downfalls of this school. The students obviously cannot spell, and are lacking in proper general education. I attended this school many years ago, and I will tell you that this is a remedial school. If you want your child to get a proper education send them somewhere else! The highest math class available was at a 7th grade level when the students attending were juniors and seniors. Yes students will receive there CNA, but nothing more. Also there was an awful lot of drug and alcohol use at school during school hours when I attended MHA,
MHA is a wonderful school. I am currently attending this skool. The teachers are fun and great. they provide excellent support. At MHA I learn alot just as any kid that would attend MHA. The principal is not the best and is kind of strict and a fish but trust me MHA rockz!!!!!!!!!!!
Mha is a great school for childrens and parents.Mha give the students and parents a lots to look forward to.The school in itself,give the students a challegne to wantbe the best they can and to reach the higest in whatever they want to do in life.I give mha thumb up on everything they stand for..Keep up the good work.
Michigan Health Academy is a very small school.. with a ton of great opprtunities. i recently completed my 75hour training course, to be able to get tested to become a CNA. mind you, im only 16years old, i have big things in store for me, most thanks to the school i attend. couldnt say i love the principal.. hmm.. but the teachers are a definate plus.
I love this school. We learn more then just school work. We are currenly learing to love people for who they are, not were they come from. Leadership skills is a big KEY. Most of all working together. i recommend that you send your child here. In summary to all of this the parent need to get inside of the so too......I LOVE the prinicpal!
This school i though was a great school ,but as my daugther entered into school the teachers are very discouraging i though this was my answer opposed to dps ..Wrong answer...So disappointed
