Cousino Senior High School

I am a current African American student here, this is one of the worse schools ever, and i've attended Detroit Public School System. I wouldn't recommend this school to my worse enemy. On a daily basis I deal with bullying and racism. Everyday I deal with teachers who don't teach, all they do is be on the computers and their phones. Not to mention how disrespectful they are. Almost everyday I have to come I cry because, I can't take anymore. This school makes me want to drop out period.

As a former student of Cousino (recent, class of 2008) I am very unimpressed. Most of the teachers are under-qualified, rude and care more about themselves and their paychecks then they do the students and the educations they are providing (however, this is common across the entire Warren Con district). I will say that like in every situation there are those teachers that really are wonderful but it is not the majority here. Several teachers, when I was there, were about 5 years PAST when they should have retired and their attitudes and technological lag showed it. Much of the staff, from admins to principals, are rude and incompetent; with as many people and teachers out of jobs right now Warren Con could certainly do a LOT better. With the, in my opinion, incredibly high salaries these teachers make we should have to best of the best and not the friend of a friend that needed a job. Please note this is not just Cousino it is the district as a whole! Come on Warren Con, Step it up!!!

Cousino is a great school, though, in my opinion, not all of the staff are up to par with things. It has a lot of opportunity for academically gifted students, as well as things for someone that has problems with academics. The rules can be somewhat strict, and the school is lacking in means of extracurricular activities. Some of the teachers and staff favor upperclassmen, and that attribute of Cousino can be very annoying. I also think that gossiping and cliques are very prominent in that school and should be eradicated immediately. So far, in my freshman year, I have not had many problems, but think that Cousino needs to show improvement in some areas.

Im a student at cousino and i DO NOT recommend this school. The are absolutely no extracolicular activities and this is not a school which focuses on learning due to the budget cuts everything is getting thrown out; things like the school store, sports teams,and clubs as mentioned before. Cousino does not prepare students for the ACT and it is overall hoorrible. the school does not let its students know what to do to suceed.

i think Cousino is a fine school but it dosn't have the best staff. Many teachers seem to care more about themselves rather than us as students

Cousino has disappointed us in some areas, certain persons in counseling were not helpful. I, too, feel that they are so focussed on Seniors, that they forgot about the underclassmen. Take a look at their yearbook-focussed on Seniors. For the cost, it was the worst team photos I've ever seen. The underclassmen who were on teams are so disappointed. The mentoring was great, but ended much too soon (kids still needed it). There are some good things & some things needing much improvements.

Cousino High School has prepared my daughter well for college. She has been accepted to a Big Ten school, as well as many others. The extracurricular activities at this school are excellent, including their sports teams, band, etc.

As a parent of a 9th grade student, I'm finding it's been difficult for students & frustrating especially if they've not had siblings that went to Cousino before to help them around. The school itself is nice, most instructors are very cordial. Some extremely helpful & supportive, a couple not so supportive. I think that Cousino has not given any recognition to 9th graders involved in activities; everything's focussed on seniors & that is wrong. I hate the set up for P/T conferences, as you are right on top of another teacher & parent-not private at all.

I am a substitute teacher in Warren Con and there are some great things happening at Cousino. I love going there and feel lucky to have found a school I want to be at! I agree, one of the best schools in Macomb County!
