This school has a below average cirriculum. It has no computers. no music, sports or other extracurricular activities. The Facility is poor, with no lunch room or provided lunches. Parental involvement; What parent involvement!--It doesnt happen at this school! IF you want to see Illinois Education Cut's at its best take a look at this school for an example. It really shows how unimportant our kids are! Very very sad!
