#24 Most Diverse Public Middle Schools in Cook County
Junior: I loved my middle school experience overall, but I did not unfortunately learn as much as I would have liked in order to have prepared me well for high school. I enjoyed going to school every day because I had a solid group of friends, supportive teachers, and a generally positive, high level of education--at least for a middle school. Sometimes I wish the administration was less strict, especially about dress code, but other times I thought they served us well. Recess and lunch was always a mess, and I strongly disliked having to sit with my homeroom up until the 5th grade or sometime around then. I think the administration could have given us more freedom and should have trusted us more, as even though we were young, we still had some sense of right and wrong. It was demeaning and patronizing to have us walk in perfectly straight lines going from recess to lunch, and other silly things like that.
