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.

My experience with Minooka Community High School has been nice, but nothing great. There is nothing particularly special about the school, but nothing really negative.

The best parts of my experience at MCHS is the ability to take the kinds of classes I was able to. MCHS does a great job at providing many different classes that accommodate all types of students. One thing I would like to see change is the amount of readiness classes prepare you for college. I feel that there could be more help to the students in that field.

Minooka has been as positive an influence high school can be for a female. There are always challenges when it comes to high school, but, overall my experience has been good. Minooka is a very clean and tidy school esthetically. The teaching staff has been very accommodating as far as offering additional help when needed. My overall experience has been a good one. I am happy to say that I am going to be a proud alumni of MCHS.

We moved to Minooka for the schools. Now, I’d sell my house just to move my kids out of the schools. Seems to be that if you are a “chosen student” be that a parent who has “friends” in the district, or the right athlete, or the high achieving students that require little support, then Minooka is fo...
