Posted by a community member on 12/11/2025they have bullies, bias teachers kids fighting ?, I can say as a former student of Casals , THIS SCHOOL IS NOT GOOD !! Kids are still arguing till this day.
Posted by a community member on 12/21/2024This school is struggling. There are good teachers but I don’t think the principle is a good leader. The city of Chicago needs to care more about the youth and the future of these city.
Posted by a parent on 9/29/2023As a past student of Casals I have to say that my experience was unpleasant. The school was understaffed as the vice principal was a teacher for MULTIPLE classes, you were not allow to have any type of hot chips in the lunchroom, there was a point in time when the students threw bricks at eachother.
