This article describes the immense size of Unity Junior High School in Cicero, Illinois and the opinions of various people regarding its size. The school has more than 2,700 students, seventeen acres, eighty-eight faculty lounges, and ninety-six security cameras. Administrators hope the school--"Cicero's crown jewel," as the school district's Web site proudly calls it--will lead to academic improvement in the district, where 10 of the 15 schools appear on a state "watch list" because of low test scores. While administrators speak glowingly about the school's capacity to provide a state-of-the-art school to minority students, critics calls it "a disaster waiting to happen." In addition, community critics argue that the size of the school puts off some parents.
