There are 2,500 students attending Farragut Career Academy High School in Chicago.
The school is at 2345 S. Christiana Ave.
On Friday some of the students began fighting after a scuffle in the lunchroom of the school. The scuffle escalated to gang fights throughout the building.
There were several gang-related fistfights.
Sgt. Frank Hughes of the Marquette Police District said that 20 students were arrested and charged with disorderly

conduct. Most of the youths were released on $100 bond, Hughes said.
Three students suffered cuts and bruises and were treated at a local hospital, Principal Steve Newton Jr. said.
Newton said the students at the school were released early on Friday after the gang-related fistfights broke out. They were sent home because staff members at the school decided the commotion was too dangerous to continue classes.
