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.

I love my school. For me football games, theatre and athletic training are what I have enjoyed the most. Our school is currently under construction which is frustrating at times. I am glad we are getting improvements since our facilities are terribly out of date, it is just unfortunate that we will not to see that many of them. I wish the improvements could have happened before I was a student.

My experience at Villa Park has been okay. Many of my teachers have been good, I had a few bad ones. Overall the school is nice. I would like to see the walkways repaved, it would make getting around classes easier. I would also like it to be better accessible for handicapped.
