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.

I had a pretty good experience, but I regret not going all out with applying for scholarships. It is currently too expensive for my parents to pay out of pocket for me. I would like to attend College with no worries about how, where, and when I could pay.

UICCP is a good school besides the rules, I believe good standing students shouldn't be punished alongside students who misbehave in class. Education in UICCP is good, but it really depends on who's responsible for teaching. My experience is an overall decent experience besides the rules.

The best experience I had at UIC College Prep is when I made many friends in junior year because I was involved in curriculars after school and the community is supportive. However, the worst part of my experience is the food because the texture and quality is dreadful therefore the school needs to make some changes for the food.
