The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I feel as though this school is pretty great. I hear stories of kids being bullied, but it always seems to be handled well.

They hired a worker "behavioral interventionist" who is implementing his experiences with gang and violence on streets in Humboldt Park on students in Dever. Real "pro" who is supposed to help students with social - emotional support is actually just reporting on students and call them problematic....

Supportive to students and has a lot of diversity. Brings in students with disabilities, which should count as diversity.

This school is utterly disgusting. The students do not receive proper care from the staffs and teachers. Despite there being multiple racist discrimination complain, the school still does nothing. It needs to improve by ALOT.
