7/14/2025
it is ok as a school, but the peers really genuinly dont make up for it. it really isnt that good. the teachers themselves are some of the nicest people ive ever met, but the students are people who are less than stellar and dont tend to follow rules, alot of the light skinned students tend to say a certian slur i cant say.

I'm currently a student and this school and all i have to say to parents taking this school into consideration is make a smart decision. There are plenty of amazing schools in chicago with teachers and faculty who support their students and their goals in life; however, this isn't one of them. Not t...
