This is our first year here but we are very happy so far. My daughter is in the Cambridge Academy program and it is wonderful! The teachers are awesome and very engaging. In addition, I don't see tons of useless homework coming home which is sometimes piled on "advanced" kids. The front office staff is really friendly too. Don't know much about the principal though...
My husband and I are pleased with marley park. This is my son's 2nd year there. He had an awesome 3rd grade teacher (Mrs. Tarelton) and now has another awesome teacher in 4th grade (Mrs. Sinex) My son has had excelent instruction from his teachers and he is very happy there. Mr. Nevers has been quick to handle any problems that arise and the staff in the front office is friendly. My child has made many friends ay Marley Park and still checks in with his 3rd grade teacher to say hi.
Marley Park is a great school. We are from the Dupage County area of Chicago and would put this school on par with any school there. Our 2nd and 4th grade kids have been challenged and the teachers push each kid at the appropriate level. This is the place to be and the surrounding neighborhood and homes are excellent.
Coming from CA and thinking our schools were suffering,I have to say I was shocked to find Marley Park to be a great disappointment. Parents of younger children k-5, seem to be satisfied with the teachers, however the middle school grades 6-8, especially 6th are less than desirable. The teachers are overwhelmed, thus putting less time & energy into our kids. Where is the love for teaching? Furthermore, the lack of support from the principal & vice-principal has been apparent from the beginning of the school year. They are missing the big picture. In order to groom our children, they need to create a good, positive environment . The kids aren't allowed to be and act like the 6th,7th, and 8th graders they are. This is a shame. This school used to be excelling, but now performing plus. Wonder why?
