I enjoyed the gifted program and the teachers but the school could use more diversity. Most of the students are Asian and there are little variations from each class. Classes should be able to mix more as most students are stuck in the same classroom for the entirety of the day. The food is not great but that is due to CPS and the school. Resources are plentiful with laptops, tablets, and computer labs.

This school is in a great neighborhood, but there are still security guards who ensure student safety, as well as the student-run crossing guards. The school has a zero tolerance policy in bullying in any forms: internet, texting, real life, etc. The school teaches children in forth grade I believe about sex education. I enjoyed my education at this school very much.

There's crossing guard, yearbook, tech crew, the ensemble, stage crew, volley team, basketball team, etc. I remember back when I was in eighth grade, my teacher who was a spectacular teacher and amongst my favorite teacher ever, tutored students in subjects such as Math on her own will.

Very disappointed. I graduated from this school and the quality of the leadership and administrative staff has gone down hill.
