GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

detroit international academy is all about diversity and inclusiveness , they always try to make sure all of their students feel safe, included , and comfortable they have alot to offer when it comes to things like clubs and sports although not alot of people want to play they still make it happen , but the downside about dia is the staff members they can be pretty rough but we're all like family at the end of the day.
