My overall experience with Minooka Community High School was good. There was a great deal of extra curriculars to choose from including all sorts of clubs and sports.

I would like to see more focus on supporting students' academic needs beyond high school.

We moved to Minooka for the schools. Now, I’d sell my house just to move my kids out of the schools. Seems to be that if you are a “chosen student” be that a parent who has “friends” in the district, or the right athlete, or the high achieving students that require little support, then Minooka is fo...
