My experience at this school is something I will never forget. The school is so strict, you really can't do anything not even be on your phone at lunch. What I do like about this school is absolutely nothing. What I would like to see change is everything like policies in phones, change in lunch, and better academic standards.

Chicago Bulls College Prep has its ups and downs so it's 50/50. Bulls prep is good with academics and prepares you for college, trade, or jobs. The best thing about Bulls Prep is the college & career seminar, it sets seniors on the right pathway to prepare for adult life. The bad part of Bulls Prep is the food.

Its a great school to a point but if you have your own mind and have a unique way of doing things do not go here it will cause a lot of stress for you. But great for those willing to deal with it and offers great experiences.
