I appreciate what the anonymous, non-Uni parent had to say, but I would point out to that parent Uni is a public school, so the perception of better academics at Uni is in comparison to other public schools in the area. We charge no tuition, and enrollment, though competitive, is open to any resident student in the state of Illinois. In fact, one reason funding for a new building is such an issue is our unusual public school situation. Uni charges no tuition but also receives no state money other than attendance because we are not part of a school district. Consequently, for example, the recently passed tax increase to be used for school upkeep helps every public school in Champaign County except Uni.
