My children have been attending since Kindergarten and we are very happy with the school and the entire community. It is a very diverse school in the heart of Chicago where opportunities to learn and grow are abundant.

My child actually likes attending. The academics are challenging and rigorous but you see the growth in the students. My child has flourished academically since being there. It is a really diverse community where the kids are just regular kids. The main thing that they need to work on is more open collaborative efforts between teacher and parent and social-emotional development of their students.

Administration sides with one demographic often. ‘Assistant principal doesn’t like anyone that...
