Used to go here as a student years ago. Still live in the neighborhood and came back last year to enroll my pre-k at the time but the more I become involved as a parent the more I saw that nothing has changed there except the principal & the fact that they remodeled the inside a little. They act all friendly and attentive to your concerns as a parent but once you enrolled your kid & u spend some time there they don't care much to Addressing any if your questions & concerns anymore & brush you off. I transfer my kid right out.

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.
