The administration is simply negligent. From misappropriation of school funds to exploitation of surrunding communities. What do I mean? Last year the athletic director was found to have misappropriated over a quarter million dollars ($285,000). in terms of academics, Out of 160 senior students only 30 are set to graduate this year. Less than 6 percent. LET THAT SINK IN. they also HEAVILY infringe upon the rights and privacy of their students for example: extensive checks and limited access to any contact with the outside world. meaning no phones, no water bottles, No stanleys This is not a typical nor productive environment for encouraging development in children. Compared to other schools in the area this place is practically a jail primarily pushed towards POC and as a youth who VERY actively participates in implementing local public policy It's saddening to say the least. The worst of all this is that with addition of the Obama library the students who attended before its construction are the same ones being used for diversity photo ops and then being told that they have eesentially no access to the facility. To further push the current students out they then decided to make this the first year that Hyde park will be selective enrollment. Meaning that it's no longer a default neighborhood school and the current residents are not automatically enrolled. TRULY I wish I'd gone somewhere else. A waste of four years.

This School actually deserves zero stars. My Son attended this school for 7th and 8th grade. This last past school year was just a challenge. My son had alot of problems with the online teaching teachers are very unprofessional especially the 8th grade math teacher. I emailed the school constantly with no reply. Principal should not be a Principal at all just worthless. Our children deserves better.
