Im disappointed in Morgan Park. I got suspended and jumped. I notified staff about it multiple times and no action was done. Im bruised and scratched up off of something I told staff about countless times. That school is not safe nor civilized. Yall dont protect us students. I did what I was supposed to and no action at all was in place. I told yall I was going to get hurt and yall treated me like an id number. I really pray for the kids there who try to do the right thing ,try to prevent situations but coming to administration and seemed to failed by the ones who vowed to protect

Do not, I repeat, do not send your child here for the AC program. The teachers are there only for a paycheck. When a student needs additional help they are told "We just went over this, you should know it already". Wanted to get my child a math tutor. Told her to ask her teacher where her weakest point was, and he told her, "How am I supposed to know?" I have lots more complaints but not enough space. If I could I'd give this school no stars, I would. Just don't do it.
