This School is terrible as a student here I feel that this school is not a safe place for minorities witch many I am a part of and do not try to help those who are in need and I do not feel like that I would be safe here without loads of protection and it. makes be scared to be myself.

Not a good school social wise!! WHATSOEVER. This school has generally good academics, granted, and there sports are competitive and do well.Most of the teachers are kind and helpful, but the select few that aren’t, are bad. There are teachers who will bad mouth, and will selectively bully. In both my years i had teachers who did such. Insulted me, and others, and said fairly disturbing and almost threatening things about students. The**** “popular” kids are all sports kids who peak middle school/highschool. They will go around and purposely find people to annoy and brutally bully, usually by making fun of them and posting things on social media.*** There are genuine good kids here though, please don’t rule that out!****Buses are usually hellholes like all buses, and are overcrowded, generally 3 to a seat depending on route. Classes generally have 25+, some 35-40.There are a fair amount of clubs! Track and field is open, but those who aren’t good enough for meets won’t attend. The school tests high. I wouldn’t recommend this school unless your kid is a sporty kid. Definitely a lot of bias within the school, especially with the school board president and her favorite teachers and whatnot, and a popular sporty kid who bullied me, but since his mom was a assistant superintendent for student services, he was looked over, and never noticed bullying.

Horrible administration. They will do anything they can to make a parent feel uncomfortable if they deem you have a “problem child”. They do absolutely nothing to help kids that are falling behind or may need additional assistance. They also do not follow IEP for students. We will be pulling our child at the end of this year and transferring our child to another school because of how awful our child’s first couple years of experience were at this school. I’d highly advise you ask other people what they think because this school has a reputation.

I moved to Minooka for the schools. It kinda reminded me of an early Plainfield. Then plainfield became overcrowded in the schools and bussed in low income from other areas. There is a lot of favoritism in the Minooka school system and the surrounding areas as well. Worst decision I made was to move to this school district.
