It's a good school. I've met wonderful people here and wonderful friends. The teachers are also great. Most of my teachers were the most amazing teachers I've had and I will always remember for the amount of help they gave me.

I have been at Schurz for all 4 years of my High School education and I think one major change that needs be looked at is being more strict on students staying in the hallways to skip class because there are legit times I just see students in groups of 5+ just sitting in the hallway and doing nothing while other students are doing their work and stuff in class.

I love this school but I wish if there was more clubs which involves creativity and etc. Also I don't like a behavior of most students but I'm glad that administration tries their best to make things better. I studied here from my sophomore year, and made a lot of friends so far.
