I moved from Georgia to Illinois and transferred to Illini bluffs high school. I am one of the few black students in a all white school. Majority of the students are welcoming to me. The teachers & facility are very considerate. At first i thought the school was going to be a hard adjustment & it still is but the friends that i have made have definitely made it easier.

We usually have to fight for CHAIRS in the computer labs, and our "mobile lab" comes equipped with the slowest computers ever to exist, but other than that, we have no problem locating a computer or things of that nature.

I would not recommend this school. As someone who transferred in from another school district, I found it extremely hard to make friends with all these kids that grew up with one another their whole lives. Not to mention I stuck out like a sore thumb because I was Hispanic and just about every other...

Absolutely terrible. i’ve gone to multiple other schools and this is by far the worst experience i’ve ever had. unless you’re a star sports player I wouldn’t recommend even coming close to this school.

Administration and staff put the students first. The school is leading the way with technology (1-1). The sport program is top notch. This is a small school and everyone is friendly and respectful. I would recommend Illini Bluffs to anyone.
