Emma: Wonderful school! Education level high. Barely any bullying problems compared to many other schools! If a problem it would be taken care of very nicely! Every kid deserves a happy enviroment to work in and express their minds! This rural school bdistrict us better that most of the schools in Chicago because no make how long the students learn each day they learn and explore more than most schools!
