In Uptown Chicago, there are a couple of schools in the area. Disney Magnet School is an elementary school named after the popular film-maker Walt Disney.
Disney School is managed by the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system. In the past, Disney was a completely free school. However, currently it has a tuition-based pre-school and kindergarten. Disney is one of the bigger schools of the CPS in terms of size and population.
Academically, Disney sets the bar high with great achievement averages during the 2010 year ISAT tests. The school is perhaps best known for its life-long tradition of celebrating Walt Disney's birthday. On this day, the whole school gathers for a special assembly in which movies are watched, speakers are brought in, and the day is finished off with cake!
All in all, Walt Disney Magnet School is a great place to be!
