Consider Newberry if you are looking for a great CPS school that has small class sizes (22 per class) amazing teachers (including a golden apple award winner) a strong principal (over 20 years at the school) a diverse student population. My 8th grader is going to Lane Tech and I have a 3rd grader who loves going to school. I''ve been on the LSC for 8 years and am very proud of the school and the community.
