Inkster High School

The way people are rating this school is amusing. I wouldn't say it's a terrible school, but it shouldn't be given the glory that some of the parents and students are giving it. A lot of the problems come from the students, who choose to skip and not do the work. Sending your child here that's all you would have to worry about. Besides that the teachers are all very helpful, informative, and involved. They give shortcuts sometimes, that as an honors student, I dislike. The security stay on their job for the most part. And administration are helpful as well. Of course there are drugs in the school, but that's with almost every high school in Michigan. Inkster High is definitely improving, and becoming a " Great School"

This school is excellent because the students, teachers, and administrators know each other and care about each other. We are a big community with athletes, performers, special ed students, college students, a great teen health center, caring counselors. There is a place for every person to feel important. We need the principals and teachers to stay longer. The principals have changed a few times this year. Too many teachers are long- term subs. All teachers should be full time professionals and subs should be for a couple of days at a time, not all year. The cafeteria service has great food.

Whoever think this school is "good" is like driving with their eyes closed. One of the darkest corners in the education field.

Giving young adults an extra year to transition into the high school environment is an exceptional idea and a concept that has been working well at Inkster the 9th Grade Academy. Students have that much needed opportutnity to develop their independence, adjust to high school responsibilites, and "find themselves' before being thrust into the high school population. Inkster 9th Grade Academy is a concept that works!

Inkster 9th Grade Academy provides an excellent environment for students to progress academically. With a highly-qualified and motivated staff, students are pushed to reach their potential. By not only setting high expectations, but also ensuring that students are held to these expectations, promoting academic rigor and self discipline. I love working with our Inkster team/family!

This the worst school I've ever had to deal with ! Mr. Harris is a Big Fake ! He doesn't know what's going on in that school even when you show him video footage ! I can't apologize enough to my son for making him attend J Jokester high. The. Staff knows Nothing ! So I'm not surprised that the students are NOT being educated properly, fighting and smoking weed. You can call Roy Harris the new King of comedy. He's a big joke ! Right along with Ms Marsh, their security and the rest of the staff. You can describe this school as CHAOS AT IT'S BEST!!!

Complete lack of discipline, no support by the administration and out of control students led me to quit within five weeks of being hired. The students have major apathy and the office does nothing to encourage either them or the teachers. I would not send my children here if it were the only school in the world.
