I have no good review for this school. My granddaughter attend Tanner, I would like for her parent to place her in another school that is willing and able to work with the parent who are concern about there child(ren)'s educations. We have had complaint and the issue have not been addressed.

In my opinion Tanner has a Great Principal. I have known the principal since he was in his late teens and I must say that he is a great person, his best attribute is his compassion. Definitely known by his peers as one always seeking the peaceful resolution and with the level of popularity he experienced countless intense situations would have took a turn opposite of peaceful without his intervention or with his approval. Regarding a comment made by a parent about an incident in April, relating to her child being mistreated while the principal watched. Of course I was not there but I again have known the principal for many years and I along with any other individual who knows him question the validity of that comment. The principal is a man of good character and the student as well as the faculty are Blessed that he is the leader there. To the parent who has every right and duty to fight for her child, as a parent of a 12th grader I know and understand how important that is for the all around well being of a child. I really don't think you received accurate info. The principal is definitely not a person who would mistreat a child or stand by and allow it, he wouldn't.

As a parent to a child that attended this school, I must say that I am very disappointed in the way its ran. My son was physically harmed by a teacher and the principle refused to assist. On top of it his grade point average was well below average. Now he is attending a school on the northside of Chicago and is above average in math and reading. Thanks for nothing Tanner.
