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 weren't a line of extra-curricular activities, until after I had graduated. Even then, there weren't many that most of the children were actually interested in doing.

Indeed, we had access to computers. However there weren't as many opportunities to print resources that were essential for class.

This school has a lot of qualities, my two daughters are happy to be there. The teaches they have had are great. I like that they are teaching and learning more than one language is important.

The academic program is superior and the teachers are well prepared to handle special ed. I'm glad there's a public school like this in Chicago because everyone knows that being bilinguals is THE WAY OF THE FUTURE.

My daughter attended Salazar for 2 yrs in the preK program. I can not speak more highly of the preK program as well as the school. The teachers and teachers aides are fantastic, highly qualified with many years of experience. They did a fantastic job accommodating each child regardless of their back...

Salazar has a great Pre-K program. The teachers are committed. There is parent involvement and there is a true international mix of kids. Salazar is a great neighborhood resource.
