We are very pleased with Dever Elementary School. Caring teachers, strong parent association, and valuable educational experience.

Chicago is probably one of the shittiest schools of all time. All they do is teach us how to memorize, and do meaningless equations that have no relevance to anything that is done by adults in everyday life.

My daughter just finished the Kindergarten.. She loves it. The teachers are great and looking forward for the next year.

As a alumni of Dever(class of 1982) I have seen this school do nothing but GROW! The caring & concern of adults(teachers/aids/other parents/retired teachers/even the custodial department)at Dever for their students is just unbelievable! At Dever the kids come first and it's not just as students but as human beings, as our future. Since my child started going to Dever I've seen that EVERY child is important not just ones with the A's & B's & not just ones having issues but every single child in the school(even kids who have moved or graduated still have this schools staff to look up to. Dever doesn't coddle the kids,they do listen & try, try to make sure every kid has every opportunity that is out there for them & they know they have opportunities. In two words Dever is a Fantastic Family!thats what they are & how they care.

Dever school is one of the best schools I am aware of in Chicago. As a former student, daughter of another former student, and mother of two current students, all I can say is that this is truly an outstanding school! The programs offered to my children are excellent, and the teachers go above and beyond what is expected of them. Because of the truly positive environment that is provided at Dever, I believe that parent involvement is also at a high level. This is a perfect example of what teamwork between parents and teachers can accomplish.
