Little Village Lawndale High School Campus
"In the predominantly Mexican immigrant community of Little Village, on Chicago's south side, a two-year battle for a new high school culminated in a nineteen-day hunger strike by parents that led to creation of Little Village High School. The school is now the pride of Chicago's school system. It is a campus made up of four small schools, each with its own faculty, student cohort, a curricular focus, and a high degree of autonomy."  Michael Klonsky and Susan Klonsky, Small Schools: Public School Reform Meets The Ownership Society, Routledge, 2008, p. 176.
