My nephew finished his kindergarten here at STEAM with Ms Pligml- she’ one of the best Teacher. Principal, Teachers and Staff were the best. Respectful, INCLUSIVE, Accommodating. Maybe the location of the school is not that great but other than that, I have nothing but great things to say about this school.

this is the weirdest school I have ever been to by emani brown If you think i'm lying go there

the school is horrible for a child with diabetes, the teachers are uneducated about the disease and when the 504 plan is done, most do not show up for the meeting. My daughter has been here 3 years now and out of 5 or 6 teachers she is lucky to have 1 a year that sees her potential.

Was a senior of class 23, overall the experience was alright but there are a good majority of students that are disrespectful to everyone around them and cause a disturbance to everyone in class, teachers are normally to nice and let them get away with it but even if they put their foot down theu get verbally assaulted by these kids. I was lucky enough to have soom good teachers but at times there would be a teacher that was passive aggressive with students. PE teachers were always late and for the 2st semester of my senior year there were times the PE teacher never showed up and this happened a few times. Fighting is a regular in stairwells and most of the time there isn't much to be done about them. Luckily they installed metal detectors so hopefully the crime goes down a bit. There is a good chance you could get assaulted or caught up in a fight so be careful. If you stick to yourself you will be fine for the most part. It's not the greatest school by any means but it isn't the worst either. I was in the service academy for public safety and I think the classes were amazing and loved the teacher for criminal justice and crime scene along with the sociology classes! Everyone has their own experience so take that into consideration if you are interested in this school. They are inclusive for kids that are part of the LGBTQ+ and have a club for those kids to have a safe space. The teacher that ran it when I was in school was lovely.

Hand down, this is the best school in Illinois. I am from the suburbs of Chicago, and I believe this school is the best! Students are expected to perform at a high level and if they cannot take it then they have an option to leave. My older child feels high school is a breeze because of what he had learned in the gifted school.
