Overall, I think the school academic rigor is very much representative of the 'in network experience'. unfortunately, most CPS students who have not attended a UofC school are at a disadvantage. BUT, I'd say this is just even more of an opportunity for the parent to step and really engage with the staff. There are ways to get more help through tutoring and using the techbology as supplements. I feel we really baby our kids these days. If something is challenging, you must rise to the challenge not the reverse.

And frankly, the school curriculmn is still below the higher rankings schools in Chicago. As for extra curriculars, yes, there is room for improvement. But, I fully utilize the park district and other suburbs to fill in the gaps.

I really treasure the level of comfort in knowing my child is safe. So for what's it worth, the extra patrol by the UofC police staff is a value added trade-off for not having a drama club or top notch basket ball team.
