Chicago Tech Academy is a great school that focuses on Project Based Learning. We would spend some time of the year building projects that correlate with our classes and present them at our end of the year exhibition. This school also helps introduce us to different types of jobs and companies through events and fundraisers. Some things that I would like to see change would be a study hall classroom or more prep and explanation when it comes to college applications and all that is needed for that.

This school is a horrible excuse for a school. The leadership of Ms Garret and Ms Wheatley is brining the school down. The schools lacks quality education that prepares students to succeeded in college. If the leadership does not realize the mistakes they are making they will run this school down to the ground. Also, it's called Chicago Tech and there is no technology in the school. If the school utilizes their funds in matter manner they could succeed.
