Old Redford Academy - High

Great charter school. It's like a free private school. Some parents complain about how the school has too many rules ,yet those same parents will let there kids dye there hair and wear accessories that aren't allowed.

Besides the lack of speech it's a pretty nice school,the teachers are nice but the school overall is very strict.

My son has attended ORA for 3 yrs and I have found the academics are excellent. as long as the students apply themselves they excel. Parent access (Skyward) is a great concept, but it is not updated regularly.

im a sophomore here at ORA. This is my second year at this school and I believe it isnt so bad. Last year as a freshmen i managed to maintain at least a 3.5 for all cardmarkings. This year I am currently a geometry and english honors student. overall, this school may not be so great but the school is improving every year to make things better

I think its a wonderful school. I love the dress code and the strict discipline. I send both of my kids their and they have had a positive experience. My son is on the basketball team and has a 3.8 GPA. And my daughter has a 3.4 GPA. Education comes first and other activities come second.

I think that school is what you make of it, I think that this is a very good school, if you want extra activities there are always things in the neigborhood .

this school is the most boring school to attend. they worry more about the boys hair lenghth then ther education. When it come to school sports and extra curicular activities thers no good thing kids would want to do and they dont care about the football team at all.

this is the worst school ever i suggest no one take there child here if they want them to have a good eduation

im a freshmen at ora and its not the school i would like to be at but i do very well here. im on the honor roll for 3.5-3.9 and i like how good im doing. this is a great school, most of the parents who you see complaining about the school just have kids who are bad, trouble, and are the ones who make it hard for everyone else, its not the teachers and education staff who are not trying its thier children who want to act up.

My children have attended Old Redford Acad. Prep. H.S. since its inception. This school has improved significantly since its beginning. They are now accredited, all of the teachers are certified, they still demand a very strict, orderly, clean and safe enviroment for our children to learn, and they have a very strong and knowledgeable principle along with a caring and helpful staff. I can definitely tell that my children are learning and being challenged more now that the school has a stable and certified teaching staff. Thank God for Old Redford Acad. Prep. H.S.
