I like how the teachers were nice and made sure that each of there students would graduate. I also made a lot of friends at bogan and bogan made me realize that high school is hard but I got through it. Overall the experience was great and I had a good high school life.

Hello whoever is reading this, I'm currently a senior and I'm literally about to graduate in a week from now, and man these past 4 years was a hell of a ride but I still got through it I made it to the finish line of then ride, and I meet some good people especially the teachers, and the students were alright but the teachers and staff were definitively good people who wanted to help their students in order to graduate and strive after high school, and me personally I definitively meet teachers that were honesty my favorite teacher in a long time. My counselors in the past years were fantastic I don't think I ever had one single complain from teachers, staff etc believe or not but at the end of the day all that matters is I made it to the finish line which is graduating and get ready to start my life, and of course making sure to have good attendance and good grades.

I don't know much about other schools in Chicago, but for me Bogan should be at the top for the worse school in Chicago. The students bully other students and the admistration turns a blind eye to what is going on. I know this for a fact since my son was bullied at Bogan. Principal, Vice Principal e...
