    I saw that DGS disabled reviews on Google and you can see why. I'm a former student from a long…read moretime a go. Problems are still the same: Staff turns a blind eye to bullies, and their student support for students who are having issues outside of school is non-existent. Back when I was there there was a student death, including by suicide, every year. I heard it's worse now. I recently had to contact their admissions office to get a copy of my diploma after getting accepted to a post grad program at a school outside the US. The guy responsible for getting the diploma sent, whatever his title was, seemed perpetually mad from the first contact with him, never returned voicemails, cut me off while in conversations with him, and made the process as difficult as possible to get what I needed. It was so bad that I called Downers Grove North to see if they might be able to assist somehow since I had taken summer classes at DGN at once point; they were very professional and friendly there. I explained the situation and they contacted the admissions guy at DGS, upon which he became more compliant, albeit reluctantly. Nothing has changed at DGS. The teachers, the way they ran the classes, and material were pretty good as I can remember. But as far as outside of class or dealing with admissions or with other staff, nothing has changed. Teachers now getting in trouble for sexual harassment, busing students in from Cabrini Green back in the day, gym teachers flirting with students - The school management still maintains a rough and tough atmosphere that many of the students and parents never cared for. It would be nice if the city opened another school under new management instead of approving massive additions to this place and wasting taxpayer money. Do the students and parents a favor and phase this school out, or at minimum, downsize it.

    Other than academics, the school was not good. I do not miss this school at all. Starting off with…read morethe staff, they were a hit or a miss. Judy Bretl (Consumers Education) was not that good of a teacher. She would get mad if you asked her a question about a recipe we making, (for example, a friend asked her if there was already water in the kettle, she responded with "you should have been paying attention" when she was just double checking.) She would waste a lot of class time talking some how connecting what we're doing to her grandchildren, and also threw a marker at my friend once. Just going through staff more. Good - Mr. Little (7th Grade Social Studies), Mrs. Mixon (7th Grade English, literally an angel), Mrs. Lovarato (8th Grade English), Mrs. Grove (6th Grade Science), Mrs. Horeni (The Social Worker) Bad - Mrs. Snodgrass (6th Grade Math), Mrs. Focken (7th Grade Math, which we will also get into later.), Mrs. Bretl (Consumers Ed), Mrs. Hayes (8th Grade English). With Sarah Focken, She was the worst teaching wise. She wasn't always the nicest, she couldn't teach math for the life of her, and she just wasn't a good teacher. Our entire grade failed 3 tests over the entire year, what does that say about her teaching. With Shannon Hayes, She had the biggest grudge against me. She tried lying to my mother (who very quickly caught her in it), She yelled at me several times for no reason, and she absolutely hated me. She was probably the worst teacher I had of my 3 years there. With Gina Horeni, She was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. She helped my friends with mental help so much, she helped me personally with my own problems. She was literally an angel and probably one of the best workers In that school. Actual school wise, it was so small. There was probably around 100 kids were grade. The school was kind of run down and just overall not a good school. Academic wise may be different but environmentally I do not want to associate with the school. It sucks my face and all my friends are now stuck on their wall with all the classes.
