The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

it's a good school and the teachers really do teach and try to make connections with the students outside of just teaching them. The uniforms are nice and very simple. Some things I don't like about this school though it's very small and crowded (something they can't control but ..), you get punished for being late to school when it's something some people cannot control, you have to pay money to do any type of event, and it's very strict especially with phones. I just wish we had a little bit of more freedom especially since it's highschool. But overall it's a good school.

Butler is a space space for all the students who attend. Teachers take a personal interest in ensuring students get the resources that they need. It is a great option for children on the far Southside of Chicago.
