I grew up on Longacre between Lyndon and Acacia, just down the street from Edison Elementary. I never attended DPS but I graduated in 2000. What high school would I have gone to back then? How about now? I'm guessing it would be Cooley, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Cooley is definitely the closest. For some reason I was thinking Redford, because of the GR bus line.
99% sure that was the Cooley district. I was on Prevost just N of Grand River and I was in the Cooley district. I think Southfield was the border for Redford and Cooley. Don't think you could have been Cody either - I would think either Plymouth or Schoolcraft would have been the 'border' for Cody. I went to Edison for kindergarten [[1965-66) then St Marys all the way through after that. My dad threatened to send me to Cooley when I got into some trouble in 9th grade.Quote:

In the 70's Kendall was the official cut off btw Dossin and Edison. We used to live on that same block on Archdale, moved three blocks south, btw Kendall and Schoolcraft, but my mom was able to keep us at Edison. That seemed like a much longer walk. Vetal was an even longer walk. The kids on our block and on Longacre near Schoolcraft, who didn't go to Cass, St. Mary's or Renaissance went to either Cooley or Redford, even though Cody was the closest.
Cody High School for me, graduated in 2003.
