At center, Lindblom Math & Science Academy sophomore Diamond Arrington, 16, wearing glasses, and freshman Carson Cooper, 15, goof around with classmates all of whom helped write a song in response to the Chicago Public School's budget crises before the start of school on Friday, May 6, 2016.

Lindblom Math & Science Academy, which is located in the predominantly black South Side neighborhood of Englewood, is one of ten selective enrollment high school in Chicago. Its students were so moved by the budget crisis that they created a song about the situation, which they performed at the school board meeting.
