This school is a good school to go to for academics in sports, this school to teach you a lot when it comes to mathematics science sports in instrumentals. Henry Ford high school offers a lot of career choices they help with getting their students into college, They set their students up for their future. The bad things that comes with the school is a lot of fights gangs in this being in a poor area. This school has a lot of things that he hast to fix but it is heading in the right direction with just a little more tweaks. The school will be the perfect school for your child.
