Detroit Premier Academy

Hello my children currently attend this school and I am very upset how the some of the staff does not care about the students and do not take responsbility for any wrong that they do. It is always the parents or students problems. And out of 78 8th grades only 32 are passing. But Ms.Qasem is the best teacher there and Ms. Thomas is second.

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL! I have four children in this school. One in K, 2nd, fourth, and sixth grade. Their principle is a very hardworking young man that I have never seen before. My children have been to different schools in the past. The difference is clear. I will recommend Detroit Premier Academy to any body. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!

I have two children that attend this school, First Grade and Kindergarten. Pros: The Teachers are caring and try their best to make sure that the students are meeting their academic goals. Even in Kindergarten, the children are taking standardized test, the NAEP test. Cons: Very little extra curricular activities for the elementary children. Also, leadership among the teachers is stronger than the leadership among the Principal(s).

I was very disappointed in this school. I found there was very little control in the class room. I think the teachers needed to be nuturing and promote a good healthy learning environmnet but instead the classroom was full of mayham and foolishness and I removed my child. I would not reccommend this school.

I have three children that attend this school and compared to the other schools in the area this was a much better choice. If I ever had a issue that went unresolved at the school the NHA resolved it favorably. I like the school as a whole.

My son has been attending DPA since the 5th grade, he is now in the 8th. And I think this is a wonderful school. Since being at DPA my son has excelled. He is also a member of brother to brother , which is run by DPA staff. He is also on the basketball team. I think at DPA they strive for greatness and teach the children that failure is not an option. They are strict when it comes to bad behaviour. Which is not a bad thing. I would recommend this school to anyone with a child in the k-8.
