Uplift Community High School

Posted Sunday, December 20, 2009

I have currently been attending this Renaissance 2010 school since the 2nd quarter of freshman year, and it's given me so many opportunities for my future. I've had chances to do things that were once in a lifetime opportunities, and of course, I've taken them. The school also introduced me to an organization called Alternatives, which is basically like a youth center, and that organization helped just as much as Uplift has.The college preparatory programs here are phenomenal. Last year, our first year of seniors had a very high graduation rate, and 100% of those seniors who graduated were accepted to a college (One was even accepted into Howard). I highly recommend Chicago students to attend this school.

I am a parent who's child attends Uplift. The teachers are GREAT!!!!!!!! they really care about the students which is what alot of students need. But they are right about the Principle she is never to be found I mean if you have issues or just need to talk you have to make an appointment which might mean a few weeks. Which I have never thought if a parent really had issues that a appointment was needed. but the staff is Great i like Uplift for what it has to offer.

I'm a current student at Uplift Community High School. In my opinion, the glory days of this school died when the current principal came along. Many students are unsatisfied with with the fact that people are not informed on school events until the last minute. From what I've heard about other schools, when students are having problems or concerns, they are sent to the principal's office. At this school, the principal's the hardest person to reach. This school might as well be a high school because even though it has middle school in it, there aren't many things for them. I have heard many high school teachers complain about things like how they do not have enough student participants for sports and activities. Yet, many middle school children are looking for things to do. If no child is left behind, how come middle schoolers are being pushed out of the picture?
