What are the schools like in South Deering, Chicago?

You are correct in your assessment. South Deering is not wealthy at all.

All of the schools here rank well below average in test scores. If you go a little bit south into Hegewisch there is a great school there that ranks very high in testing: Grissom Elementary School. East of South Deering there is another great elementary school named Washington G Elementary School - it has very high test scores as well as great parental satisfaction.

Honestly, I haven't heard the best things. Most of the news is about fundraisers, so I think they're struggling to make ends meet. South Deering isn't very wealthy, so there just isn't a lot of money for good schools.
