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.

The teachers are very lazy. The most common method I saw them use when I was there was to print "packets" of pages from the Internet, pass them out to the students, and tell them to shut up and do them. The teacher did nothing else. If you finished early, you sat and stared at the wall. If you asked any questions or said anything at all in class, you were sent to the sadistic woman in the office. It seemed like nearly all the adults there hate kids, and are too lazy to work with them.

In less than three years, this unsafe school has reported three terrorist threats. This is considerably more than any other middle (or any, for that matter) school in the area has reported.

Full disclosure: I am a teacher here. I've been teaching since 2001 and have taught at one of Chicago's best magnet high schools, one of the North Shore's most-prestigious high schools, and now here. This is, quite frankly, the best school I've taught at. It is well-run from top to bottom. In each o...
