My niece is very smart, started a school club and pretty much keeps to herself. She has one very good friend, at the school, who is Latina. Unfortunately, she couldn't enjoy her time at Unity, due to continuously being called the "n" word in a disrespectful & offensive manner. The staff did nothing. And the 2 times she my niece had to defend herself, she got punished. The Hispanic children, in efforts of trying to be cool, often referred themselves, as the "n" word. Upon her graduation (class of 2023), she was quoted as saying, "I'm glad, I don't have to come back to this racist school again!".

I was kicked out one day out of…read morenowhere, nobody called me or told me anything to tell me i was dropped from all my classes, the reasoning behind all of that doesnt make sense either, i have been untreated with ADD and Bipolar Ds so i was struggling alot since i was sophomore, they kicked me out as a senior a month before we leave school, my doctor even wrote a letter and told me that their reasoning of kicking me out doesnt make sense because im mentally not okay and that i could sue if i want to. Point is this school only looks at you as an item with price if you are mentally not okay (on medication) please dont attend, they will find every single excuse to kick you out

The prior review in my personal opinion, is written by a spoiled 'thinks they are better than…read moreanyone else' brat, who should take a lesson in entitlement from some one who attended the campus before they got there and decided to throw a fit because they have to wear a uniform. This school isn't the greatest, its been somewhat underfunded for a while, and just like any hard workers they manage. What is perfect in our country now a days I mean not much.. My experience was for the vast majority pleasant. Just like life, you get back the effort you put forth. These are morals we should be passing down to our children from the beginning of their lives. As an alumni who played 4 years of starting football, who stuck to a close knit group of non-football friends, who enjoyed his classes taught by veteran teachers, and watched countless peers complain and moan about the school, while not putting forth any effort to succeed themselves, this school is great. They are working on a new addition to the cafe, in which students are aloud to use electronic devices such as laptops, phones, and tablets. They have recently redone the entire indoor track and field house flooring, have indoor weight rooms, a good sized pool with showers, completely redone tennis courts, and one of the oldest yet largest and nicer looking brick football stadiums in the chicagoland area. I hope those choosing to attend find their time there pleasant and rewarding. They are some of the most important years of your life. Don't waste them! -Tim 2009 Grad PS: To the prior "current student reviewer", please remember that, when claiming to be too mature for something, its best not to back it up with a bitchy rant that holds no truth to the schools efforts in education, and rather your unwillingness to follow dress code.

OPRF has been a great high school since 1873. Residents have always expected their public high…read moreschool to be as good as any private prep school, and it is. Large enough to offer a selection of courses and activities that small schools don't even dream about. 90% of graduates go to college. This school has produced at least four Pulitzer Prize winners, one Nobel Prize winner (Ernest Hemingway, class of 1917), a Miss America, Olympic athletes, Oscar and Emmy nominees, leaders and award winners in many professions, and thousands of well-educated human beings. I had the good fortune to attend and graduate from Oak Park in the '60s. The demographics have changed a lot since then, but not the quality education or the results. I have attended seven colleges and universities in three states since then, earning a BA, two master's degrees, and a post-master's certificate along the way, and I'll put my OPRF diploma up against the high school education of anyone I met in any of those schools.

The quality of their educations has been extraordinary and both children thrived with clubs, intramurals and other extracurricular activities including a study-abroad in Ireland trip for one child and a Washington DC Art History field trip for another. Shout out to the amazing counselors, Special Education team, and social workers. My kids have favorite teachers but too many to name personally. The arts program is the highest quality. Theater, too! The school board has been doing some wonderful work in the past few years. We appreciate the recent policy in support of transgender students and their work on improving racial equity. We have been really happy at OPRF and my kids are lucky to attend.

However, the English teacher Thomas Dignan is probably the worst teacher in that subject ever. My AP kid said they read maybe 2 books ALL YEAR in Dignan's class. Not much college prep! Dignan has learned the art of blabbing without saying anything. And the French teacher Ms. Forberg may be a native speaker, but she doesn't know how to teach. She gave difficult grammar tests without teaching any grammar at all. Her class would kill GPAs for most students. (My kid has a steel trap memory, so he still got As, but no thanks to her.)
