The school has an advanced middle school, similar to Whitney Young and other top ranked Chicago schools. This really helps students transition for high school, due to taking courses taught by specialists in each subject, rather than a general 7th or 8th grade teacher. The school also offers an Inter
Posted by a community member on 10/11/2024My son was injured in gym class at the school. My son reported an injury to the PE teacher but was not assisted in any way. My son had to crawl out into the hallway to get help. After his father picked him up he was taken to the hospital where he was admitted for a hip fracture. I requested
Posted by a parent on 3/14/2019Terrible, 1st thing that needs to be done is the REMOVAL of carolyn epps whom is causing the decline in all areas, she has NO respect for her staff or student and puts on a face for parents. She locks down educational resources from students just because she feels like it. She is NOT AN EDUCATIONAL
Posted by a parent on 12/7/2017The best school on the Southside! I graduated from Morgan Park in 1998 and I had the greatest high school experience from 94-98. I wouldn't change anything about them.
Posted by a community member on 8/24/2017I don't know where to begin. I am so disappointed and increasingly disturbed by what goes on at this school. The problems were apparent on day one, September 6, 2016, of my child's attendance there. My child told me that there was an older student standing by an entrance door smoking 'a funny lookin

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averageat Barnard I would say that the teachers try their hardest to teach these students and make them a smart as they can be from what I seen when I came in the room.Its the children ,not all just some. And some of the students and only a staff member, when she would write the children up she would not hear the children story or try to argue with them. Other then that some children can be disrespectful and rude.Other Review11mo ago - Clissold Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student my mental health was at its absolute worst during my time at Whistler. School sometimes seems as if run like a prison in the sense that they only work to fix not prevent they only fix a issue if it caused a problem or if a complaint has been made. The middle school teachers are nice, I can’t quite speak for the other grade groups. Lots of unreported bullying goes on at this school however that is subject to change as students come and go. Some of the systems at this school are corrupted and this school is probably the most basic education you can offer a child.Other Review1y ago - Colemon J Elementary Academy
