They put special education at a minimum, the principal could care less about bullying or the affects on the students. She simply cares about her numbers. They fake the special ed kids standardized testing, or used to, to get higher numbers and recognition.

As a physically disabled students, this school was terrible. My teachers did not believe I was disabled, even though I had records showing it and notes from every appointment I went to. I also experienced constant transphobia from students, and while staff weren't directly transphobic to me, they wouldn't help with this at all. Programs for students with learning disabilities are built to hold them back. Teachers do not believe they're capable of learning, and encourage them to stay at the same level they're at. Their solution to dyslexic students having trouble with reading is to just not make them read, instead of putting in the effort to teach them differently. They love to say how much they strive for diversity, and then leave everyone that isn't a upper middle class, able-bodied student behind.This school does not educate students, as shown by the terrible college readiness score. After starting college, most people in my graduating year are extremely far behind where they should be. There's a major lack of media literacy and critical thinking especially, but students are also clueless towards a lot of basic concepts in English and math. I am one of these students, I grew up in the distract and can't do pretty basic math. I feel that we were all set up for failure, but poor, lgbtq+ and disabled students were left even further behind than most.

I have always had positive experiences with Carl Sandburg Middle School. My children have gone through there and now my grandkids are there. They have always had great teachers and really enjoyed the whole school in general.
