Onahan is a decent neighborhood school, but I definitely have some mixed feelings about the health and safety environment lately. On one hand, the teachers really care, but some of the building maintenance issues are starting to worry me—I saw a report about their fire panel having corrupted programming codes, which isn't exactly what you want to hear regarding safety systems. The cleanliness is okay for a CPS school, but when the flu or stomach bugs hit our grade, it seems to spread like wildfire. Communication from the office about illness outbreaks could definitely be more proactive so we aren't finding out from other parents in the group chat first.
