"The parent review right below this one is spot on!! The admin are highly unprofessional and treat their employes, teachers, and students with NO RESPECT. Their turnover for this last school year is more than 50% of their teaching staff...which is super high for a small school. No open door policy for the principal and you can forget about admin following the mission of critical thinking, personal responsibility, and self-sufficiency. Great teachers are running from this school and you should be aware of this when entering your child in this school."

"This school has gone down in quality since last year. Good teachers keep leaving. My son is fed up with all the stupid new rules and the volatility of the principal. In some classes the work is hard and some classes it's like baby work. Used to be a great school. So sad."

"Jane Addams is a great school with excellent teachers and staff. I used to take the Halsted bus and pass UIC everyday on my way to Jane Addams HS. I did not graduate from Jane Addams; however, I did attain a GED -- ONLY because I was too far behind and did not want to waste anymore time. I had nearly no credits -- BUT that is just ME. YOU can graduate from here, and should do so. They did allow me to take the Constitution test with the other students -- which saved me considerable time when taking the GED. After earning a GED, graduating from Wilbur Wright Community College with an A.A degree w/honors -- I now go to UIC and am 4 semesters shy of my Bachelor of Science in Accounting degree. I also plan to go to law school and practice law -- of course -- in Chicago. Jane Addams is a fantastic high school with caring people who work there. I recommend this school to anyone who is sincere about having a positive future and doing what is necessary to further their education (studying, doing homework, working hard, etc). The people who work at Jane Addams give their all and truly care for the students. It is a great high school, and my only regret is not graduating from there."

"I am thankful to have found this school. My daughter tried 3 high schools before enrolling here. None really taught her anything and she kept finding herself in trouble. For some reason, she was really motivated at this school and it changed her. They are pretty strict about everything but its good thing."
