What's wrong with MPHS?


Categorized under:

Mayor Daley and Arne Duncan, the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, recently met with members of the Morgan Park High School Community Initiative to discuss to discuss concerns about safety, among other pressing issues.

Yet the school fared well last month when Chicago Magazine ranked the city's best public schools.

Still, recent crime at the school has drawn attention to it, most recently in this Web log post.

What do you think needs to be addressed the most at MPHS?


It was a few years ago but I

It was a few years ago but I know a girl who was almost raped on campus there. She dropped out because of that. Academically it'a great school for those students who apply themselves. Student safety needs improvement no question. It would seem that CPS needs to increase security(and pay for it as well) at all schools. Make sure teachers and staff are more alert and will act on things they see. Too often they don't want to get in the middle for fear of lawsuits or paybacks. I wonder what prompted this? Specific incident or the amount of incidents over time?
