Open Quote Blue Ribbon Award and one of the best high schools in Illinois and the country. Close Quote

Open Quote We are proud to have our children here. The leaders are very open to feedback and reply quickly to requests. Our children are being appropriately challenged every day. The teachers provide enrichment to keep the kids motivated. Our school received exemplary status in ISBE on October 31, 2018. We are pleased to see how much the administrators and teachers stand behind the kid's performance daily. Close Quote

Open Quote The students are great, but the teachers and admin are terrible. What a lazy bunch of immature adults. They spend all of their time worrying about their own personal problems like the students are not even there. No wonder there are so many bad reviews. And the scores are all dropping.
