"Old Quarry & the District as a whole is in trouble. Going out for referendum is not going to help. They are very poor stewards of our tax dollars. Unemployment in Lemont is at 11%, not to mention the members of the community who are underemployed. I don't know where they think we are going to get the money for a tax increase. Not worth it. Superintendent should take a 20% pay decrease and knock off the stipends. The childrend are not going to see a penny of the referendum money. It's going for teacher & staff salaries."

"3When the school was built, it was one of the best schools for introducing technology to young students and at recruiting and retaining the best teachers. Since the school opened, the community has refused to offer support to the school and its teachers by denying all referendums that would bring in better teachers, updated technology, and offer the children more specialized options for learning or for participating in extracurricular activities. This problem has recently been exacerbated by the lack of funding from the state, and a resulting layoff of almost 40 teachers; which will increase class sizes to almost 40 students. Many extracurricular activities have been cancelled, further denying the student s opportunities to learn and be active outside the classroom. Even with state funding, if the community cannot begin to stand behind their school and its teachers, the school will never be what it once was and the students will suffer."

"i am currently in 8th grade at old quarry, and i honestly cant wait to graduate. the majority of the teachers here dont understand what they are teaching themselves, dont explain things good, and give an incredible amount of homework on things we didnt even learn. the kids here are bad, they get away with pretty much anything. i would not recommend oq to anyone."
