Unity Junior High School

Unity is one of the best school i have been to. i can honestly say you feel safe. our teachers are wonderful and respectful, and if you ever have a problem you can always go to them. our school has raise money for a cancer research program. even if we dont score the highest we do try our hardest. consintly we are told that we are "a bad school our does poorly" but our teachers and principles all tell us that we shouldnt believe that because we know we are one of the greatest schools and we will prove to everyone we are. after school programs are also a way for students to be active, excersize. i feel that our school is not only preparing us for right now but for our rest of our lifes. thank you unity

My son graduated from this school last year and I would definitely never send one of my children here again. Some of the teachers don't take pride in teaching or bother actually engaging the students. There is a lack, on behalf of the administration, to let the parents volunteer and help more.

I'm wondering if some of the people submitting these reviews are not teachers or administrators, out of the 50 plus kids I have randomly asked about the school I have yet to hear any positive feedback, after overhearing a teacher use a 4 letter word directed to a child I must wonder what the administrators are thinking and what the poor kids must be feeling? Needless to say I have removed my child. Her teacher said this was the best thing I could have done, her teacher was a sweet heart and I feel bad she has to work in that enviornment as well!

Unity Junior High School is one of the largest, newest state of the arts Jr. High in the Nation. We proudly educate about 3,000 students in 7th and 8th grade. We are located in Cicero, Illinois, and really are in a budget crunch concerning monies for after school activities and programs. We are bringing back our band program after a 6 year absence, but are needing funding. Unity is a wonderful place for our students - it is beautiful, clean, spacious, and has some of the most dedicated and loyal teachers in the world. Even though we don't have the budget to do all that we wish, we are so proud of the creative and generous hearts of our teachers who give their time, talent and money just to assist student programs. Hurray for Unity!!

I was a student at this school when it opened & I'm currently a high school junior in another town. The teachers there were extremely helpful, very involved, and their methods for teaching were spectacular. I still remember all the linking verbs that I memorized in 7th grade. My current teachers are extremely impressed that I know all of them. The teachers at Unity really care about your grades and if you have problems they listen with great care. I have incredibly good memories in that school that I'll treasure always.

this is a pretty cool school while you may not have the same friends in your class as in seventh grade there still are some good ones that you can stay in touch with there are a lot of clubs that you can join and if a teacher feels you should join one of those clubs he can recommend it and then you could be in that club or you could join on your own
