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.

It was a better eye-opener for me to realize that I wanted to go to college and figure out what careers or jobs I might be good at or interested in applying for. And the environment for the school was also very welcoming and felt more social for me as well.

It was good in junior year because they showed that they care about us and our mental health but senior was not the same. Senior year I have to deal with racist kids and the staff sweeping things under the rug about every situation.

My son is finishing up his Junior year here, and I've been very impressed so far. Pros: Academics. His work, not just his grades, have improved. Social: a much better group of students here, motivated to learn, although it seems they have plenty of fun, too! Emotional: The kids are treated as young...

As a pilot program it is indicative of the standard CPS schools, but somehow it has been able to overcome the CPS beuracracy and engage it students. In the end, this is what ALL schools should be, advance training, a push towards excellence and fast becoming one of the top High Schools in Chicago.
