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.

Poor school with bullying problems. Students sit on laptops doing computer programs alone for hours a day. Internet program IXL teaches the students, not the teachers. New admin is white in a Hispanic school. It's a mess.

The teachers in this school go above and beyond to make sure that students have access to technology, books, and field trips. Teachers write grants and reach out to organizations to supplement the budget cuts in CPS. The staff is friendly and dedicated to student achievement.
