My experience with kelly has been great, I never had a problem with any teacher or student, there might be a few bad student maybe 1 or 2 but you will find these people everywhere you go. Over all i would rate this school 5/5 for its hospitality and education. BUT the reason to why i would rate 3/5 is due to the BAND Program. Sure its nice during beginning band where they are all nice and motivate you to go to intermediate band, once in intermediate you start too see some of the band directors true colors. But despite that its not to bad, until they ask you to join Advanced band/Marching band. Thats where you see Mr. Daily’s Totalitarian Regime, where everything goes his way or no way at all. The moral of the story is Kelly’s a great school, and the Band is basically overhyped slavery, so if you come to Kelly i highly do not recommend Band for it is a trap that they lure you in, if you want to go to Kelly for Marching Band, i suggest try looking into another school, for you can do better.
I graduated in 2016 and the 4 years I attended here were great. I remember when I was attending elementary school in Brighton Park you always heard “Kelly is a bad school” which is NOT TRUE AT ALL. It is definitely improving and it has gone strict but firm on the students. I think Kelly has a ton of resources for their students they just need to learn and realize how to USE IT. It is all provided for them I think it’s just sad how some of the students don’t use it. Unfortunately when I graduated the principal I had decided to retire so the incoming Freshman for September 2016 would have a new principal which is funny because that also happened to me when I was a Freshman.
I’ve reading at these reviews and saying that Kelly is bad. It’s not, many of teachers do care about you and want you to be successful. I’m in many after school programs, which makes me want to go to school everyday. Yes, Kelly has been bad before, but the past and now it the future. Kelly has been improving better. I was one of those students that didn’t want to come to Kelly,but they have change perspective and my mother always tell me, it doesn’t matter what school you go to, it matter how much effort you put in.
