I live in the Wrigleyville neighborhood and I am so glad our family chose Greeley. Everyday my two kids are both challenged and cared for. They are growing in a diverse and family-oriented atmosphere. Principal D'Abell is fantastic and we love the teachers. It is truly a hidden gem in Lakeview.

The teachers here are amazing & dedicated to their students but the principal and her leadership (or lack of) is abhorrent. Teachers and students are drowning because she has not clue what she’s doing.
