This school was great back in the 80s and I enjoyed my four years!! Awesome teachers and amazing staff.. Small but lots of potential, and comfortable to get around in!!! Back then this school was tough to get into and it was Considered one of the most popular schools in the District. Furthermore I can say With great pride I graduated from this school with honors and Im glad I had the opportunity to attend!!!! 88-91....

I was here for one of my kids swim meets. The facilities were clean and safe. It was easy to access from public transportation. The viewing area was comfortable.

As a freshman attendant to the school as of now and having been reading all the negative reports on Mather High School, I think its time for a new, current, review. As I have read, people complain of gang fights and catastrophic behavior. Most comments are from years ago. The most recent I have seen was 3 years ago. This school has changed dramatically. There are barely any fights, little or (most of the time) no gang activity, and the staff are actually trying to help. It is more of a normal high school now. Although its not the best high school, it is certainly permitable.

Best high school ever!!! You wont find a better school like this one!!! im telling u going to this high school was the best choice of my life. Ignore the hatred comments those people are just haters they have nothing better to do. Trust me and go to mather high school. In my opinion best school ever!!! I will miss this school

It was fun my almost 3 years of high school thank u people for helping me

Mather high school was great when I went there all four years class of 99! Ranger pride a see of blue love my high school!

Best school ever!!!! Go Rangers!!! Best neighborhood school!!!! Very friendly kids and staff would highly recommend this school!! Mather is better than Amundsen!!!

Worst school I have attended. I heard in the past it was top school. From my experience is not. I was a student their four year straight. I was always bully by staff members and students. I was treated different from the other students which I didnt understand why. Students smoke outside and inside the school. It made difficult for me becouse I have asthma. The principal just graduated people no matter what their grades are. I cant believe their about to close the school but they didnt. They should have close this school down.

Since my freshmen year this school has changed dramatically, there are barely any fights, one or two kid fights every few month. No gang violence in or outside of the school. There are students who make bad choices but this schools faculty are working so hard to help them graduate right on time. Also average ACT score has increased significantly in past 5 years, from a low 16.7 to 18.9. This school is great for language barrier students as well as students who want to pursue post-secondary education after high school. I myself excelled myself in four years, first by taking honors courses and then multiple advanced placement classes. We have great, highly qualified teachers, staff, security, and principle. What else can you ask this school? It cant become NSCP in one night but it has achieved a level 1 status.

Good. Could be better. (Two Slices of Bread + Three Pieces of Cheese)

It was a great high school when I went there. If it, wasnt for my caring teachers, ...I would not exist! Lol,

Hello my name is Nate and I am currently enrolled in Mather Highschool as a Sophomore. I came here to change the way how Mather High school is looked. Mather Highschool is one of the most diverse schools in the nation with a whopping 2,000 students. My experience so far has been great, I have been in the principal honor roll ever since I walked into that door freshman year. Teachers here are extremely helpful and always put there students first. To give you an example I took geometry freshman year and i was kind of struggling in the class so i talked to my teacher and set me up multiple appointments of tutoring after school throughout the week. Before you knew it I was passing his tests with As and passed the class with an A also. Not that Im becoming a junior next year with multiple AP classes Im not worried that any teacher in this school will let you down. So if your thinking about high school definitely look into Mather High school The Home of the Rangers!

I had a meeting here. Wonderful staff!

Rats everywehre, so many roaches. nasty IT WAS TERRIBLE. gangbnangers and drug dealers in the showers

Mather Has changed so much! Everyone is academically involved and taking all Honors / AP courses now.

Amazing school. I love it !

Could be better for a neighborhood high school.

Average Chicago public school: a bit crowded, very diverse, underfunded, but can turn out decent individuals.

Not a safe place to be if you have a choice

This school sucks,too many roaches in the lunchroom, a fight almost every week,worst students and I regret coming to this school.

Great school

Good
