As of 2012 there are several abandoned buildings, and Chastity Pratt Dawsey of the Detroit Free Press wrote that there were "gang fights that made the campus a tinder box".
History
The school opened during the 1950s Baby Boom, and it was dedicated in 1955.
Cody absorbed attendance area from Redford and Mackenzie High School, after both facilities closed in 2007.
On June 30, 2009, a shooting occurred at a bus stop near Cody, leading to seven injuries. This prompted DPS officials to improve school safety.
As of January 2016 there are three separate high school programs sharing space at Cody.
Campus
The school campus has polished tile, hardwood floors, and oak cabinets. John Wisely of the Detroit Free Press wrote that these touches "hint at a time when money was abundant."
In January 2016 the physical plant of the Detroit Institute of Technology at Cody was in poor condition.
