When I attended Mercy High School there was a great amount of diversity and student involvement. The academics are good and it is a good college preparatory school. I do wish they focused a little more on their connection to colleges it seems many students don't get into low acceptance rate schools. Many stay in state and go to Michigan State which is a good school but for a "college preparatory" school I wish they connected with more colleges allowing students to have better chance to get accepted to those harder schools.

I like how they really prepare us for college. One thing that could be changed is the amount of AP classes offered. I believe they could offer more AP classes.

Mercy High School is a welcoming, inclusive and diverse environment. All the girls that go here have a passion to learn and also discover things outside of school they are passionate about.

My daughter has blossomed at Mercy, finding a path I never would have foreseen. She is college bound and has an uncommon sense of self and purpose that she's developed from the many opportunities afforded by Mercy.
