9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school lacks any guidance with leadership. I wouldn’t recommend this school whatsoever. This school definitely doesn’t deserve the rating it’s getting at 9/10.Parent Review4y ago - Sandburg Middle School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSent two kids through Sandburg with a mix of experience. Neither came away feeling that they were prepared for what awaited them in high school. Good school if your child is straight down the fairway. Would not advise if your child has any emotional or social challenges or your looking for a parent school partnership.Parent Review8mo ago - York Community High School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe snobbiness and elitism so rampant in the city of Elmhurst unfortunately carries over to York High School. The school is so huge, many students falll through the cracks. Like the city of Elmhurst, the school also wants to maintain an appearance of perfection and superiority, very ugly attitude.Student Review2y ago
