The gifted and talented/IB academy raises the academic performance level among the academy students, although my experience with normal-level classes (not AP, IB, or honors) has been sub-par. I would like to see a change among the level of academic rigor in normal classes, since I don't necessarily think that they prepare people for college and post-high school life.

I was part of the EHS Gifted & Talented Academy which was the most phenomenal high school experience. Outstanding teachers. I was pushed to excel. Taught advanced courses. Got tons of AP credits for college.

Elgin High School is a good school, I wouldn't say that I had a bad time at the school but not the best time as well. Teachers and staff are amazing people and people I would talk to every day. They always want to help out students and just be friendly in general. The food here is alright at best since it's just an average school food. Some of my worst parts of my experience are the people. Some people are great people and don't get me wrong, but some people here act really immature. I don't know if this is the cause of COVID or not. Other than that, the school is good at best.

This school really supported my daughter who went on to a top Illinois college and my middle daughter who is a junior. The teacher’s care, sports and clubs are numerous and if student’s need support they get it! Go Maroons!

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...
