Open Quote Excellent school , it is a hidden gem in district 21. New principal turned the school around for good. No bullying and zero tolerance. Close Quote


by a parent
Wednesday, June 6, 2012

Open Quote it is disgusting how when you call the school you can NEVER find someone who is knowledgeable enough to answer you. It is also DISGUSTING how they do NOT involve the working parent. I have three children in the school and none of the events/shows or senior awards are held in the evening. Everything is held in the month of June in the day. At Least the old principal did take us working parents into consideration. Close Quote
