This school is on the rise and in the next few years will be at the very top of Chicago private schools, both academically and athletically. Change is coming and it's already here. Choose DePaul College Prep. Your teenager will thank you for it!!

I would like to address the never-ending issue of bullying. The bullying situation at this school is immaculate. When I attended a couple of years ago, I was constantly being bullied. There were a couple of situations where I thought that I was being sexually harassed by my classmates. I don't think that this type of behaviour should be accepted at a catholic school like this. I advise prospective students and teacher to take this issue into account when applying.
Endorse Depaul College Prep. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
