Parent: I have 2 children at Morgan Park Academy in the Early Childhood program and we love it! My kids are engaged and challenged academically and are taught about kindness in a world that seems to have forgotten about it. I love that my children could sing and count in French, Spanish, and Mandarin from the age of 3. The teachers truly care about the students and work hard to make it a great learning environment. Morgan Park Academy is a small school but an awesome community.... Read 128 reviews

Senior: Couldn't ask for a better high school experience. Every single teacher I had was extremely patient, enthusiastic, and overall just willing to work with the class. I know I can't speak for everyone, but this was at least my experience. Faith life is also very good, especially having the experience to go on Kairos and to school masses. The introduction to community period really helped me to stay a little more on top of my work, definitely helping with stress levels. Honestly, campus is extremely easy to navigate after a few days and although it isn't top tier facilities, everything gets the job done. I've been able to notice subtle improvements across the whole school throughout the time I've been there, so I know there are always going to be small improvements here and there to keep everything rolling smooth....

Alum: I really loved how McAuley created a community whose outreach had no bounds. Alum and current students are easily identifiable not just by the uniforms, but rather by the confidence and skills developed at this school. I credit McAuley to my faith in myself and my overall thirst for knowledge and equality. McAuley teaches you that you will never be alone no matter when or where you are as someone will always be there to find and guide you when you’re lost. Besides all of the community based accords, this school has some of the most dedicated and connected teachers who promote learning and fairness in and out of classrooms. Obviously as a liberal arts school they do very well in theater, musical, and art departments with several students and alum receiving awards and acclaim, but many sports programs are up to par as well. Overall this school leaves a lasting legacy that any who are connected to hold forever.... Read 398 reviews

Senior: Marist High School has taught me a lot and really prepared me for college. I have met so many amazing people at Marist, students and teachers. I have formed unforgettable friendships and had so many good times at all of the events Marist has. But, Marist can also be very overwhelming with homework and the rigorous classes. Some teachers can be hard to work with, but mostly I have had great experiences. The best teachers are the ones that you know truly care about you and are there for you, whether you are having problems inside or outside of school. Teachers that take time out of their classes to ask their students how they are truly feeling make the most difference in our lives.... Read 466 reviews

Senior: Brother Rice is a very good school that has an extremely welcoming environment. Their academics are top notch and the staff are nice people who are always willing to go the extra mile when it comes to education. Brother Rice encourages its students to go above and beyond what is required of them, and they do a great job of preparing their students for college. Beyond that, Brother Rice teaches its student body how to get ready for life outside of school by instilling a strong work ethic and positive attitude into them.... Read 184 reviews

Senior: As a graduating senior at Southland College Prep High School, I can confidently say that my time here has been nothing short of outstanding. My school's lottery picked me, and I am eternally grateful. Tutoring and mentoring are only two of the many support services available to students at Southland. Students in Southland also have a lot of different opportunities. The number of honors and advanced placement options is significant, for instance. To counteract the school's strict adherence to the rules and its emphasis on academics, I think it should relax its grip on student-organized extracurricular activities. Aside from academics, high school should be a fun place to share memories with friends and try new things. Generally speaking, I am pretty satisfied with my educational experience, and I would encourage any prospective first-year student to apply for admission through the Southland lottery....

Alum: Such a wonderful environment! Everyday I went to school it was so clear that the teachers truly cared for the learning and growth of each of their students. I gained so much academically, socially, and spiritually by attending. There is no doubt that my experience at Aqsa has truly shaped me in a way I couldn't be more happy with.... Read 34 reviews

Senior: Located in the center of Hammond Downtown stands HAST, a new public charter school that has an alternative way of learning. The small students to teacher ratio combined with the use of technology is the reason why this school is so different and stands out from other Hammond schools. Although this school focuses on science and technology there's opportunities for students to express themselves in clubs and sports. HAST recently celebrated their 10 years and upon it's many new additions to the school (greenhouse, flowerbeds, theater room, TV show) the students and staff are still working on creating a bigger space for it's diverse student body. They also have 'Discovery Time', a class where their middle schoolers learn teamwork and solve real world problems. HAST's passionate teachers and talented students come to school everyday with different goals, interests, and backgrounds, but unite to become the most promising school you could imagine....

Parent: Hansberry is a good school. I love that we are like a family And that the classes are small. Hansberry academic wise is very good and my child being a student there has prepared her for college! Although the IB courses a rigorous, my child love the challenges! One thing I’d like to see change is the fighting amongst the students. I think more consequences should be put in place in order to minimize some of the fighting and disagreements amongst the students so that everyone can feel more safe and can stay on task....

Middle School Student: I started going to Gary comer in 6th grade my 6th grade year was different I wasn’t expecting to go from a elementary school that allows us to do what we want to a school that’s very strict besides the school being strict I met some new friends I met new teachers and I also learned a lot I eventually transferred because of the discipline but I went back my high school year and completed my four years, it was a different feeling during my high school years because they changed the rules meaning they wasn’t as strict. I can definitely say they’re very supportive they helped with alot of things and I basically grew up with them.... Read 39 reviews

Senior: For a home school student, American School was the best option for me. They send you textbooks, workbooks, test booklets, and provide a plethora of help websites and reviews online. The teachers are quick to respond to emails and calls, and leave helpful notes on tests. Awesome school!... Read 30 reviews

Senior: My experience at Englewood stem was amazing . The building and campus is nice, I met very good and caring people, the school created many opportunities for me and other students, and the rest is just exciting. The opportunities they've created that were very important to me are offering college classes. It's Important to me because I can go to college with half or almost my credits or semester done. 1 student from my school is already graduating with their associate degree and that made more students want to take college classes and So, Englewood stem made a way to offer more college classes. Another thing I want to include is that I was nominated for the youth of the year , my coach got me into a computer science job , and the sports teams are really talented. It"s just a lot of fun for me. It's how you spend your time in school to make it fun.... Read 3 reviews
