School Reviews
5 10/10/2025
Quality of teaching is great! Current principal is more concerned about his job than helping students with special needs. District u-46 is WAY too large, making it difficult to address the needs of individual students, schools and communities. Good parental involvement greatly enhances the quality of this school.
