I am a happy and successful graduate of Reavis High. It offers more than just a place to fulfill…read moreyour pre-college requirements. It may not be the ideal place of higher educational accomplishments on your list of credits for those seeking some pencil pushing no talent work environment. But for those who know what they want, and are aware of the real world and it's requirements, it offers more than any Ivy League, high brow institution can even begin to. Personally I consider myself beyond successful with accomplishments acquired only through being taught what the real world is like and how to survive in it. I'm not knocking the brainy ones who have worked hard academically to achieve their respective degrees in their desired form of work, who may have also claimed Reavis as their Alma-mater. But I am here to defend the place where I got to realize, and learn, what I am capable of in order to survive in American society. From first grade on I never "fit in" to the accepted curriculum, and was "tolerated" at best, by the teaching community. Until I got into the halls of Reavis where the world opened up for me and I was not only with people of the real world, both student and teacher, but had choices no one knew were lurking in my little brain. I was opened to being able to express and expand the genius concealed inside what the academics said to my parents "Al does not belong here." It was taken as "this kid has a problem" not "He's too smart for this type school." Until I got to Reavis I struggled with fitting into the meaningless and unfruitful forms of education that was offered to the general community. At Reavis my life exploded into the word "opportunity". Yes I had to take what the educated of society told my parents I had to take as classes, but getting that out of the way as quickly and easily as I could I looked forward daily to attending first the basic industrial arts classes and then on to the real shop hands-on classes where I excelled. Where I learned from great men like Caroll Repasey and Bob Moser and others I can't remember at the moment, who could have made twice the money out in the real world. They had a desire and quest to teach those who were willing to learn what they needed to excel in the real world. Money was not the object for these men, as mentioned, they taught me "how to learn" not "what to learn". I can tell you from a lifelong experience with men who have accomplished the "how to learn" that conquering the physical world through "hands-on talent" and being confident in this sort of self knowing has a lot more to offer than book smarts alone. I admire and praise those with doctor's degrees and diplomas that proclaim their dedication to their chosen form of work, but Reavis High School claims more successful and self satisfied individuals because of it's dedication to the education of young adults than can ever be counted or tallied up. I hope and pray, for the sake of society, that Reavis has not changed it's curriculum.

Rating based on: Building /property (exterior)…read more Online information I always thought of Gunsaulus as a rather impressive school. A friend lived nearby and I often passed the school over the years. I guess it's been a few years since I went past Gunsaulus Scholastic Academy because it is more impressive than ever! I remembered a playground on the corner section of the school property near 44th St.& Sacramento Ave. It has been replaced by a track and soccer field. (see business photos) It looked more like a high school to me than an elementary school. Well, maybe that's because it is a "scholastic academy"!?! A Little HISTORY The school opened in 1924 and the estimated cost was $650,000 - - a considerable amount of money nearly 100 years ago! Lovely built-in features included: *Foyer with fine heavy oak woodwork, leaded glass windows and decorative plasterwork. *Terrazzo and marble hall floors. *800 seat auditorium *Large gymnasium on the fourth floor. *Enormous original kindergarten with non-working fireplace and kitchen. *The building originally accommodated 500 elementary students as well as the Freshmen of nearby Kelly High School. *Gunsaulus became a Scholastic Academy in 1982. https://gunsaulus.org//m/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=200710&type=d&pREC_ID=400544 For history of Frank W. Gunsaulus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_W._Gunsaulus TODAY Gunsaulus Scholastic Academy: *Grades PK-8th *Instruction based on NWEA and Fountas and Pinnell Assessments aligned to Common Core State Standards. *Offers high school algebra to 8th graders who are prepared for success in the program. School Introduction : https://gunsaulus.org/m/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=200710&type=d&termREC_ID=&pREC_ID=401084 Gunsaulus Scholastic Academy seems to be a school where a child can get a very fine education. I just hope they moved that playground that used to be where the soccer field is now to the back of the building. (I did not check out the back of the building) I think it would be nice if the kids can have some fun on their journey to becoming "a community of passionate, loving, and respectful life-long learners and leaders who empower themselves as global citizens" - The Vision for the Students in the School Introduction link above.

Gorman, Lynch, Rezek, Fowler, (f)Hynes, (m)Hynes, Br Mahoney, Mr Scott…read more Some of the greatest teachers I have ever had the honor to be graced by their methods. Fortunately, I had them over a four year period and took them for other classes. Sadly, most have moved on and retired- Gorman, Lynch - others I've lost contact with- the rest- but their legacy lives on. Walk down the E wing and you can see Lynch's closet where he smoked three cigs during our testing sessions. Or the indentation on the lockers from Gorman's golf club. Or you can hear Freyer say 'c'mere sonnnnn' six times so he can yell at you about your polo not being tucked in. Or the obnoxious smell and piss poor lighting of the Dwing. Or the overly bright C wing which had Fowler deal from the deck. Subconsciously, I believe that's why I like playing cards so much...because I got called on so many fucking times in his class especially when I was day dreaming about being in Gorman's class instead of Trig. B wing had Br. Mahoney who is the undisputed lightweight champ of the brothers. Mr Scott had such great enthusiasm for StL that it was a shock to me that I had heard he left. His legacy is one of playing an active role in the community- find a program that he didn't help think of or handle. In 02 the administration decided to erect a moto above the student entrance/exit- Leave as a Leader. I thought it was a bullshit moto...leave as a leader ha! But it didn't dawn on me until I was away for quite awhile and swung in for a visit to see if Gorman was around. I came in as a boy in 98 with a wickedly bad pubic-y mustache and left in 02 as a man...a grizzled man, but a grizzly leader.

Very nice and forward looking grammar school in the far south suburbs of Chicago. Opened in the…read moreyear 2000 (it was the first new Catholic school opened in 35 some years), this school has earned the Blue Ribbon designation from the U.S. Department Education for its wonderful programs for all ages. Programs begin at the Pre-K level, continue on for Kindergarten, and then progress through all grades First to Eighth. The preparation for high school is thorough and comprehensive. This school is jointly owned and run by four Catholic Parishes in the south suburbs: St. Elizabeth Seton Parish (also the parish on whose grounds the school resides), St. Julie, St. Stephen, and St. Francis Parishes. This Catholic grammar school is a wonderful ministry of these parishes. If you live in one of the parishes and are an active member, you can send your children to this school. Sending your children to this school insures they have a nurturing experience like no other. Highly recommended.
