The school sucks, its dirty, staff is terrible, and teachers don't know how to teach at all. The head of security is fat as a whale and that can't even walk to the 3rd floor. I literally feel unsafe when I go there. You can't even use the bathrooms because of the smokers and pointless security that just talk together. Its just bad.

Complete with leftovers from other, more important, schools, sports teams that almost win championships, and staff that could not get a job anywhere else. Top of the line CPS education.

Excellent school where teachers really care about how the students achieve. The music department is excellent! Now an arts magnet school, this is an awesome place to send your students that are interested and talented in music.

  • Sam Manzzullo

I like this school. Some people and teachers are nice and will help you with any issues, while other are not. most are, though. This is a great school with little to no gang activity/drugs/guns, unlike most rumors think.
