The sexual vulgarity that came out of their mouths was so frequent I started walking from one class to another with headphones. Then I was told by security I was not allowed to wear headphones. At the time, we only had 2 security guards who regularly circulated. One was almost bed ridden due to physical ailments and had to roll around in an a special chair. The other was hearing impaired so he couldn't hear any of the sexual obscenities the boys were shouting. I would not recommend this school for that reason.

I am an adult who is 40 years old. I know right from wrong. Principal Tennison might have shook every Lane students hands while he was in office, he neglected their needs as far as stress goes. There was no relief, no therapist offered whatsoever. Brian Tennison did not care. Plus, he took away all the parents privileges to volunteer at their Prom. I was devastated at that time. Even though, my youngest daughter was unhappy about me not going to her prom. I would have been very happy without dancing and prom dinner. I rather be in the same ballroom with both my daughters' prom instead of dinner and dancing. We survived without it. I do not know who changed the prom volunteer policy. Hence I am very sad at Brian Tennison. Dr. Christopher Dignam was a very very excellent principal. Dr. Dignam allowed parents to participate as prom volunteers. You rock Dr. Christopher Dignam!!!!!! Does anyone have a say about the parents, prom and Dr. Chris Dignam?

One thing for sure: they all graduated from high school & went on to college. As for current day involvement, I visit the school to pick up my grandkids every once in awhile. They tell me they like their teacher and enjoy going to class. They are taught current technology, multiple languages, and even gym time, which is something we didn't have back in the day. Results matter, and seeing some many of my younger friend's children going on to high school then college after attending St. Therese tells me a lot about the present day school's teaching!

I have nothing to gain from lying and am just speaking about what happened to me. spending my formative years here has caused devastating psychological fallout and I will have mental illness for the rest of my life. I threw away mostly everything that reminded of this place but dug up this photo of me wearing my school gym uniform as proof I attended here. They've since changed the logo but I promise you this is the same school. Oh, and I just remembered. One time we did poverty tourism. We, rich, privileged, private school students went to a poor, black, public Englewood school to learn about how the school operated and meet the kids. had lunch and then we left and never talked to the school again. how was this a learning experience? so gross and so tone deaf. stellar programs by the school.

I took off one star because when I returned to Chicago after living in the Philippines for 5 years (I was born in Chicago, but lived with my grandparents in Manila), they put me in a Spanish-speaking kindergarten class. Tagalog isn't Spanish, ok? This was before their Tagalog ESL program, of course, which they now offer. I have to hand it to the teachers working there, though, because Chicago Public schools are tough. Many of the students had to take bilingual programs and ESL classes because their parents recently immigrated to Chicago. Their bilingual programs include Arabic Bosnian/Serbian, Khmer, Spanish, and Vietnamese. And take a look at the different languages served in their ESL program: Albanian, Bengali, Farsi, French, Gujarati, Illongo, Korean, Lao, Malayalam, Romanian, Tagalog, Turkish and Urdu. Yes, it's safe to say that the school is VERY diverse. I had friends whose parents immigrated from Jordan, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Mexico, Greece, India, Pakistan to name a few. Some of you may not want your children to go here (you know who you are...), but it's o.k. I have to give it 4 stars because the teachers deserve it. This school has been around for over 90 years and they've expanded the school an extra 68,000 sq. ft. for new classrooms, a library, computer lab, and science lab. Good for them!

Jamieson is only holding up due to the handful of good teachers that really want the best for the students. While the rest is basically setting the children up for failure due to not wanting the children to succeed but only yelling at the students. Students are supposed to be excited to go to school while it is the opposite. I cannot believe the things the students have to go through. The teachers communication as well as the office, more importantly the principal is beyond outrageous. The principal never wants to really tell the truth to parents and will yell at students, covering up secrets that will always show the truth someday. The principal had gone as far to fire a staff member due to telling the truth to the parents to help them get more knowledge on how the scenarios really are. Disgrace of a school, the staff is horrible please take care of your students to help them get better.
