"Volta is an ok school. The thing I like about it is the students get to express themselves. Something I don't like about it is the PE over there. It is only one day of the week and 45 minutes. That is definitally not enough time to get the exercise kids need to stay healthy. They have a new playground, but only preschoolers can play on it and all the other kids are forced to stay indoors for almost the entire day. The teachers there are very enthusastic about teaching. Some teachers give an excessive amount of unnessisary homework, while others give the right amount so that the kids have time to process what they have learned in school. Volta's students are mostly all well behaived except for a few kids and the teachers are able to well control them. Volta is an alright school, but it could be better."

"I really like Volta, It's a great school, the only thing is there is this new teacher called Mr. Pele and he is way too hard on the kids. He gives way too much homework,especially on the weekend. It's like he treats us like all our life is is school and homework."

"Volta is a unique school in the Albany Park/North Park Area. Considering the multiracial makeup of the school and the low income and bilingual background of most students, the school still performs in the top 10% of all regular enrollemtn CPS schools. This school also has its own in-house gifted program for accelerated learning of academically talented students. The teachers and administration at Volta are great and I am happy to be sending my child to such a fine school in the heart of the city."
