Renaissance High School Reviews
Rating 3.61 out of 5 1,021 reviews
I've spent the last four years attending Renaissance High School. My high school experience has truly been a positive one. Detroit Renaissance has taught me about myself, my peers, and my community. This school has also given me so much confidence in my choice of not only applying but attending college. Looking back, there honestly isn't another high school I would've preferred to attend. Putting education aside, I've spent a good amount of my high school experience battling friendship circles and anxiety. This is due to the time I spent online. Where other schools would've given up on me, my school took the time to help me get back on track. I went from almost failing freshman year to becoming an honor roll student. Due to the administration, staff, and resources I have been able to get accepted into the schools I could only dream about back then. There is truly nothing I would like to see changed as everything has already been accounted for.
“Number one second to none!” In my four year attending Renaissance High School, this phrase has been repeated a handful of times. Originally I thought it was school spirit. Yet every time it’s said, it only becomes more true. Inside of the Detroit public schools district, I’ve found no other school to have as many resources and staff wholly devoted to it. The teachers, though they have high expectations, push the students to be their best. Many of them also give more of their own time and energy to give students the extra help they need. As a senior, I find myself thoroughly prepared for the rigor of college courses because of their efforts. Moreover the student culture has made my time a safe and welcome one, as the environment nurtures bright and open minded individuals. I can confidently say that because of Renaissance, I have become well prepared for the future ahead of me. And as long as they put in the work, others too will have a bright future laid out for them.
The sense of community and camaraderie among students and staff is often highlighted as a positive aspect. Many students feel supported by their peers and teachers, creating a conducive environment for learning and personal growth. Some students and parents may feel that communication between the school administration and families could be improved, whether regarding important announcements, academic updates, or other matters. Improving communication channels between the school administration, teachers, students, and parents can facilitate transparency and collaboration.
