This school has acts of racism and it is not handled they clearly do not care about education because they will suspend you or put stuff on your record for no reason at all and they will tell your parents what you did but wont telling them why you did it.

One of the best schools in the district! Many opportunities for children to learn, no bullying and distractions and excess behavior in the classroom like other CPS schools. Many well-rounded teachers, diverse, attentive, and very clean people and atmosphere. School is diveses in students and academics also. Many opportunities from teachers to parents to engage in School activities, fundraisers or fun dances, and good old school teaching environments like that. Modern, but old values and ageless virtue. The Hartwell I remember when I was a kid.
