This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
10/18/2024
The best past about being a part of Back of the Yards IB HS is that they provide a lot of extra resources for students who need additional help in school and college. The worst parts would be how the safety in this school can sometimes be low. I would like to see this school become more strict about how students treat each other.

The layout is extremely simple and, classroom numbers aren't that complicated. They have an open football field along with a softball field and 2 tennis courts. They do have a pool, however it isn't open for anyone.

Back of the Yards is a very good school. All teachers are nice and very supportive. They help you with anything. They also always try your best to guide you on the pathway and always giving you advice. The school is very supportive in anything.
