GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There is an abundance of after school activities, and I think this really enriches the school environment for the students there. There is a club or after school activity that can fit almost any interest.

It's easy to say that most, if not all, of the students here feel safe and comfortable going to school due to the abundance of security measures.

This school, among many other things, really encouraged the values of the community and it's members. The fact that it was a neighborhood school made it possible for everyone there to grow and learn together and the teachers made an honest effort to help those who needed it.

They have a strong Music program. The principal has engaging activities for the students throughout the school year. Parents can volunteer to join the Parents Group. Parents can also volunteer to help teachers out in the classroom. However, they must pass CPS clearance.
