4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBad school too many fights, a lot of bullying and staff doesn't really do much. Kids have to walk very far and streets are horrible, bus transportation is not available even though street are super dangerous. District needs to really focus on kids education and use the money wisely. Kids are out of control, this school need more staff and more programs to help kids manage their emotions. Way too much drama in this school. It's sad that staff try to cover things to prevent scandals.Parent Review3y ago - Elgin High School
