Foreman College and Career Academy, formerly known as Foreman High School, is a Chicago Public Schools district high school enrolling about 700 students in ninth through twelfth grade.
The school's mission is to prepare all students, including students with disabilities, for higher education or a career, according to the school's website.
The school offers flexibility for students to learn at a level that both meets graduation requirements and challenges them. Students can enroll in credit recovery classes. For students who are looking for an academic challenge or are planning on obtaining further education after high school there is the dual college credit program offered in conjunction with the City College of Chicago. The program lets students earn college course credit for classes completed with a passing grade at the high school. Sports include football, cheerleading, soccer, swimming, basketball, bowling, wrestling, baseball, track and field, and softball.

It's been okay but not the best wish they could offer more classes. Teachers are amazing in helping and connecting with students

My experience has been great. As a senior student, I get a lot of help for college, how to write essays, and how to apply for scholarships.

Foreman is very intimate and has small class sizes. I enjoy that there are teachers here that actually care about the students and their education.
