I love Prospect so far! My experience with teachers and classes have been great! There are many varying classes to take, career pathway classes, Honors and AP, anything you could ask for. The teachers are well versed in their subjects, and leave students with a good understanding of the material. Prospect offers many extra curricular activities, that allow students to get involved with others while doing something they are passionate about! Although I am not yet done with my career at Prospect, I am feeling prepared for college, and am grateful for my years at Prospect, knowing they’ll benefit me as I venture into the world!
Prospect is a school that prides itself on its rigorous academics, high performing athletics, and outstanding school spirit. And it truly delivers. Offering almost all AP courses and numerous dual credit courses with colleges in all areas of studies including math, social sciences, world languages, and beyond. Prospect encourages and often places students in AP courses. At my time at Prospect, I took 8 AP courses, 3 dual credit, and 10 honors courses. Prospect is consistently ranked top 20 in Illinois high school rankings. Athletics and extracurriculars often rank among top in state and nation. Such as girls track who rank as one of the top teams in the nation, varsity football who made state this year, the marching band which travels the country at top competitions, and beyond. Regardless of the numerous opportunities in academics and athletics, Prospect students and staff are united by the rich school spirit which can be seen at football games to community service participation.
Nothing to complain about this school! Awesome teachers, kind students, great athletic and academic programs. Prepares students for college through a myriad of dual credit and AP classes, electives, and various internships and apprenticeships.
