I was a student in this school. I’m fithteen. I did not like my experience at this school because I was getting harassed every day, but when I tell the authorities that I am being harassed by someone they did nothing. They decided to go in a conference room with me to address the situation. I was asked questions about my experience with the person that has been harassing me. But then I tried to explain why I responded in the way I did, but they would always interrupt me when I try to explain myself and my point of view in the situation. So later on I was put into a class where most of the students would harass me every day. They never even took disciplinary action on the students who were harassing me every day. So I called out the authorities for not not taking disciplinary action on those students, but as soon as I called them out, the authorities said if I consistently call them out they would ruin my student record and they actually did that. But I am a competitive person so I did not let it go no matter what because no one was calling them out for the things they did to the students at this school. There were also multiple times when the assistant principal threatened to call the police if I did not stop calling them out. I was also upset with the fact that my best friend was treating me differently after hearing false things that the authorities were saying around the students about me tooken out of context. That is the main reason why my friend does not want to talk to me that much anymore. The assistant principal even made me cry when he repeatedly said he was going to call the police on me with false information taken out of context about me. I even told my mother about what actually happened to me in school, but she still believes the false information taken out of context about me from the authorities that works here. I also had a problem with my mom interrupting me in the conference room, but my mom had no idea about what was going on at the time because of the false information that was misleading her, so she was aware of my safety and I understand that because she is my mom. I was also getting into a conference with the principal and another authority, but they were also interrupting me on certain important points that I was trying to make, some of those points included the fact that they did not take disciplinary action on the students everytime they were harassing me. They made me repeat every grade that I failed with misleading reasons. I was actually not able to do my work because I have a problem with depression, being harassed, I am dyscalculic, and was told to work in a room that was filled with every single student that harasses other students at the end of the day. I hope someone can take action on this so the authorities that ruined my reputation can get fired.

ClassRooms stank and musty…kids fight…they served me only brocali because there were no more chicken nuggets..teachers dont teach or talk us they just throw paper in our face and tells us we got 30 mins….when i transfered to another school, they did not want to give me my transferr form and it took 3 days to get..also
No names but a teacher calls some girl thots and boys nig*as and then she talk about how fake the princible is and how she hate her but then talk to her right after…teacher and teacher was aurguing with eachother throwing stuff in the class…its just horrible

This school sucks they need to get a new principal or close it down the assistant principal thinks she’s the principal and she’s trying to take over got employees scared to talk because she’s going to give them a bad review got parents in the office that shouldn’t be in there looking at people information you have one employee that walk around and do nothing but decorate I’m sure CPS doesn’t pay her to decorate
