Adlai E. Stevenson High School is named after one of the area's most famous residents. This school…read moreis huge. It has five parking lots, a fencing team, and a credit union in the cafeteria. This is the first time that I've been here when the school wasn't being renovated. The classrooms are nice and have the latest technology. The hallways are big, bright, and have a huge two story plant/garden. I recommend Adlai E. Stevenson High School for students, teachers, and coaches.

This was my Alma mater some time ago. I had actually gone to 4 high schools, both large and small…read more I really loved going here for my senior year..The teachers were wonderful. They really cared for their students, and were always willing to help them to succeed in life. We only had 87 members in our graduating class. So it was a small school at the time, but I made many great friends, and will always cherish my memories from here

This is one of the best high schools in the nation for academics. If you're into sports, it's tops…read morefor that as well. The academic program here is so intense that even though I graduated somewhere around the bottom 1/3 of my class (I blame my ADHD and general teenage boredom), I was so well prepared that college was a total breeze by comparison. I was a student so long ago that I doubt any of the teachers I had are still here, but I found them to be mostly very supportive and of high quality. Some of them took a liking to me and were especially helpful. My suggestion to parents is to try and get your kid involved in other activities here besides just class. If they're not into sports, DHS has all kinds of clubs, youth groups, yearbook, newspaper, etc. Admissions people like seeing this stuff on your college application and it helps a lot with expanding your social circle.

Personally, I did not enjoy my experience here. As soon as I walked into this building, I was so…read moredone with it. One of the 8th grade math teachers couldn't teach at all. Only relying on other teachers, an answer key and a textbook for us to learn from instead of them. As well as the 8th grade science teacher. One was very fun to talk to, yet the other teacher couldn't teach at all, relying on the internet and is always on "G-chat". In my opinion, the 6th grade science teacher would always complain for the smallest things that we did although we were barely pre-teens then. Always pointing at the board, showing off her nails. If I had the chance, I would walk away from this school during breaks. We can't forget the art teacher. Rumors about him liking younger human beings and always records and takes pictures at kids without their consent. Seems pretty weird if you ask me... And this school reeked with horrible smells. Someone needs to start cleaning the 7th grade hallway or use febreeze!! Now the the P.E. teachers, there was one man that would make a bit upset. He doesn't understand how it feels to go through menstruation and says " exercise makes it better" but as soon as I exercise, I start feeling crippled even more with pain and have to be escorted. That made me feel "real good"... Overall, the vice principal needs to start hiring actual good teachers unlike these. There's a reason why many people don't like this school and are excited to leave.

As a student, I can attest that I received a world class education. Beyond that, the athletics and extra-curricular activities that are offered there not only enhance the in-class experience but can give you opportunities that can be more valuable than what you learn in the classroom. As an employee and coach, I can tell you that the teachers and staff are some of the most caring and dedicated professionals that I have ever worked with. The school works hard everyday to live up to the high standards that they have set for themselves. There is a reason that John Hersey High School is consistently ranked as one of the best high schools in Illinois and the United States. I highly recommend John Hersey High School!

The councils office is a mess where they are so disrespectful to students and when a student is depressed or needs help they puniSh the student. Most bullying cases that are reported a staff member will say "just get over it" "be the bigger person" or "maybe he/she Likes you." The WiFi never works so no student can do work so the kids grade drops even though it's not their fault. Food and drinks are overall too expensive and during lunch periods the school favors "smart" kids and closed off other places to eat even if all tables are filled in the cafeteria. Most staff is disrespectful to the students. Don't get me wrong some staff is nice but with all these strict policies it limits a students creativity. Dress code is too strict and targets girls and just because someone is on varsity they can get away with anything. I wish I would of transferred freshman year but I was stuck. But you just have to find the staff that actually cares and is actually nice even though it's hard they can help you
