This school eminates a welcoming, family atmosphere, with a caring and capable staff. The PTO is great, and all our kids' teachers have been exemplary!! We could not have asked for a better school for our children!
I completely agree with the parent who posted on June 1st. Further, the school climate is not one of welcoming fro many parents. The PTO is a tight knit group that literally runs the school and excludes participation by 'outsiders'. This is the fault of the principal who has allowed it to happen. Our children have had really excellent teachers and really awful ones here.
If your child has special needs, please do not send your child to district 202. The classrooms in these schools are overcrowded and the teachers are unable to meet the specific needs of their students. If you have no other choice and have to send your child to this school, I recommend you have a family advocate/lawyer that will make this district understand the state laws/IDEA. This distict is clearly not compliant.
Eagle Pointe has a great staff, awesome volunteers and lots of great activities for the families. The PTO is top notch!
Faculty and Staff are wonderful! Great programs for the children.
We love Eagle Pointe because it is where our Children learn and grow! The staff is wonderful and we would like to help our school.
There is a real sense of community at this school. The teachers push the kids to do better and better.
The school does so many fun things for the students. Learning is fun at Eagle Pointe!
The students learn a lot at Eagle Pointe, both academically and socially. It is a great school
My son started Kindergarten this year at Eagle Pointe. So far, I am very impressed by his teacher and the staff's approachability and professionalism. My son has a peanut allergy and asthma. All the classrooms are peanut free and there is a full-time nurse on site every day. This is a huge bonus. The cons, as already mentioned, are that they don't have an orchestra or foreign language instruction. My son plays the cello and had been learning Spanish in preschool. We also would like to see the district offer a full-day kindergarten option like Dist. 204 in Naperville. Overall, we have a good impression so far, however. We can work around our cons.
