Back when I went here (class of '89) Dean Spitale used to be my worst enemy. I remember vividly…read morethe time he sat there in his mock-denim suit with orange stitching and lectured me about the danger I created by setting off fireworks in the cafeteria, and how "it can be a volatile situation when there are girls present who may have a lot of hair spray in their hair." OH MY GOD- talk about preaching to the choir- it was SCHAUMBURG FUCKING HIGHSCHOOL IN 1988- ground zero in all the nation for the giant suburban hair I HATED! As serious as the resulting out-of-school suspension and Saturday schools (2 of 'em!) were, I had trouble holding back the laughter! At least I had a week off to practice Foosball at "the Barn" and Saturday school locker cleaning duty resulted in me getting my first "Schaumburg Saxon Pride Award..." the one I stole from some award-winning kid's locker who didn't turn the dial to lock it! Haha, Schaumburg High School sucked when I went there, and I'm sure it sucks now!

Oh God- the worst years of any kid's life- Jr High!…read more It's hard to give any Jr. High a good review, since it's such a terrible time for most kids. I tried to put much of those years out of my memory, but there are a couple things about Frost that really did stand out for me I'll recount: My teachers were decent enough- Mr. Catalano was my science teacher- he really rooted for me when I aced my HS entrance exams and got into the accelerated track. On the flip-side was Ms. Costansa, my English teacher, she actually fought to keep me out of the accelerated HS English track because of my misbehavior. Somehow she couldn't see that my misbehavior was largely due to boredom from being unchallenged by her criculum- duh? Oh well, at least in HS English I got to hang out with normal kids instead of the AP geeks. Gym class. OMG, Mr. Steger was notorious- every boy in the 5-6th grade feared entering Jr. High because of this guy's reputation for embarrassing and harassing the boys in the locker room. I never had to jump naked for my towel myself, but the dude was huge and scary and he got pretty mean when other kids acted up. Not a really good deal if you ask me. I'm sure he's long gone now, but that's how it was in the 80s. French class. I had the best French teacher ever- she was this totally cool, cosmopolitan, artsy lady. She really cared about us learning the language and the culture, and took us all to the Creperie in Chicago. Mlle Doyle was the best. Math- both my Pre Algebra and Algebra teachers were really good. The kids in these classes were ahead of the other kids in Math and we were taught that way- nice to have reasonably tough expectations placed on our progress. So Frost was just OK, there were some really nice teachers, some were pricks, some good experiences, and some pretty bad. I booked lots of geeky kids in the hallway and got away with it. I suppose that experience typified my whole experience here: not really good, but not really bad either- 3 stars.

They only act like they care and supervise when someone calls them out for it. Otherwise, the hall monitors have no human respect and if you're really lucky they might go into the bathroom with your children and instead of just making sure it's clean like their supposed to, they stand there and look into your closed stall! so be careful if u doom your children to go to school here because you are sending them into a building with predators, adults that act like they're in preschool, and teachers and staff that have zero respect for anybody and the most they teach is that you just have to "try harder" Fremd used to be a good school, maybe ten years ago, but nobody there cares about the students and their well-being . don't send your kids here!

I may be biased, being the Class of 2001 President and a Debate Coach, but I firmly believe that…read moreJohn Hersey High School is the best high school. As a student, I can attest that I received a world class education. Beyond that, the athletics and extra-curricular activities that are offered there not only enhance the in-class experience but can give you opportunities that can be more valuable than what you learn in the classroom. As an employee and coach, I can tell you that the teachers and staff are some of the most caring and dedicated professionals that I have ever worked with. The school works hard everyday to live up to the high standards that they have set for themselves. There is a reason that John Hersey High School is consistently ranked as one of the best high schools in Illinois and the United States. I highly recommend John Hersey High School!

The councils office is a mess where they are so disrespectful to students and when a student is depressed or needs help they puniSh the student. Most bullying cases that are reported a staff member will say "just get over it" "be the bigger person" or "maybe he/she Likes you." The WiFi never works so no student can do work so the kids grade drops even though it's not their fault. Food and drinks are overall too expensive and during lunch periods the school favors "smart" kids and closed off other places to eat even if all tables are filled in the cafeteria. Most staff is disrespectful to the students. Don't get me wrong some staff is nice but with all these strict policies it limits a students creativity. Dress code is too strict and targets girls and just because someone is on varsity they can get away with anything. I wish I would of transferred freshman year but I was stuck. But you just have to find the staff that actually cares and is actually nice even though it's hard they can help you
