Really like these old-fashioned, single-gender schools where the kids can focus more on academics…read moreand athletics, and not have to worry about how they look and dress for the opposite sex...there is enough time for that elsewhere. This school has been around for over 100 years, so you know they have proven themselves...you don't last that long unless you bring results. Academically: the school has loads of AP course offerings, all the STEM subjects one could wish for, and a reputation for getting kids prepared for college...this includes having their own library, auditorium, and computer labs. Athletically: they usually star in baseball, football, and basketball...probably in that order, although it can change from year to year. For example, they won a couple of state championships in wrestling a few years ago, so if you have a son who excels in a particular sport, don't be afraid to bring him here to learn more...he will. In extra-curriculars: they have scores of clubs and activities...some competitive such as chess and scholastic bowl, and some not competitive such as theater...and they also have a renowned band program. Facilities wise: they have a standout football field and practice field (they usually arrange to have the neighboring grammar schools play on their field). They also have their own baseball field, basketball gym, weight room, and swim pool for the swim teams on site. They don't take a second seat in the facilities category. All in all this is a institution on the south side of Chicago. They remained for 85 years at one location (on 63rd Street just east of Western Avenue) and for the last 28 years have been on a 30-some acre campus at 77th & Western Avenue. This place is for real...go visit and decide for yourself...give it a chance, we did.

My cousin use to come here. This is one High School that creates competitive students. They have a…read morereally tough football team and every year they show their commitment. What I do like about this school is that it seems to (contrary to popular demand) cater to their students in a way that many public schools seem to miss. They really take their kids seriously, and although they have a bad rap, it doesn't seem this way to parents. They have a football field (a few blocks away from the school) and the kids are always practicing. The actual school is still in its vintage look, but with modern updates to make sure that they are still caught up with other schools. I use to come around to pick up relatives who went here and often times I would volunteer. All in all, not a bad school, just that sometimes a few rufians mess up the reputation but the school can stand on its own.

The past has given the 60629 area (where I live), crowded schools and very run down and antiquated spaces. But in 2009, that became a thing of the past. With Hernandez school coming to the forefront and able to show the south west side how innovative the architects did up this beautiful building. If you ever get a chance, stop by and ask for information, I am sure you will be highly impressed. This school rivals the Near North Academy on the North-side of Chicago. Amazing work and the building is still being worked on for even more space.

But you have to ask yourself, was the school where you went...worth it? This is a pretty gorgeous Elementary School which is old and rustic, and igt has nice murals and paintings and whatnot.

Visually and architecturally, and as an interested semi frequent visitor, I give it 4.
