The best part about Elgin High was the diversity among the students. Usually in a high school you tend to see a majority of one culture but at Elgin there are plenty of diverse cultures. The one thing I believe should change is the readiness for college. Now that I am attending college, my freshman year was very difficult due to not being prepared for college level courses.

This school is a prison pipeline. They did not care about our safety and our future was not a priority to them. Using low income youth was. The goal was to throw students into society ensureing they stay a low siceio economic status, or end up in jail, or dead after highschool. I feel the good reviews on here are fake. The people that work here are pathetic for the most part and they failed to keep us safe.

Elgin high school did not have many options at the time I had attended. I am now currently seeking a career in the Cybersecurity field and at my time there was close to zero options for this field there. I chose to pursue healthcare during my high school years as that program in Elgin high school was more complete, but looking back I wish I had to option to get further in my field by studying computer science in my high school career.

The teachers at the school often bully the kids. My student wasn't ready for college after 4 years and has to go to a junior college. The challenge is that so many kids are behind that the teachers have to spend time with those students, which drags everyone else down. The leadership is horrible. Th...
