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.

They only care about lying to everyone that this is a good schooll some of teh teachers are nice but they always get fired. Don't even get me started on the recess teachers, they are always yelling at kids not letting them play around and truly be kids. And the lunch is disgusting. There are exces amounts of bullying in there. Most of the teachers have favorites which makes me extremely mad. And teh counselors dot do nothing, instead of trying to resolve a problem, they just suspend people. I don't not recommend this school, it just gave me a lot of stress and anxiety. It was an absolute hell
