This school will do nothing to protect your child from being bullied. Nor do they make any effort to control the gang problem they have at this school. It has gotten so bad for my child that we had to stop sending them to school. Plus, we had to get lawyers and the police involved for the school to start looking into this issue. Do not send your child here for any reason.

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.

Fantastic school across the board. The teachers are compassionate and skilled educators. Students are treated with respect and as this school grows it will only get better.

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.
