My son is in this school for the past 2 yrs, and i have little to complain about the academics, but have few issues with his last yr teacher, she didn't treat all kids equally, she showed partiality in giving grades and silly tigerific cards, thank god, my son is with a different teacher this yr, and till now she has been wonderful.

Horrible school, do not send your kids here. There are a handful of great teachers but it is not worth the trade off. Scores are marginal, look at the AYP breakdown, a few students bolster the scores to reach minimum standards. Current principal/school leadership and parent involvment are sub par. Classes are severely imbalanced. There is a reason many families do not attend this school even if it is closer to their homes.

Lynwood was a great neighborhood school for both of my sons. They both tested and got into the 4th/5th grade GATE program which is for gifted students. We could not have been happier with the teachers we got. I loved the diversity my boys experienced. Lots of great parents as well. Did tons of volunteering, a bit too much. Many parents that have students there are too busy working or too busy at their "home schools" to help. If you move over for the GATE, plan to help! Otherwise, a few hard working parents will be doing it all.

As a former student of both of the two GATE teachers at Lynwood I think that they are awesome. They are two of the best teachers I have ever had. I learned so much from them. If anybody has the opportunity to be in the Lynwood gate program they should deffinetly take it.

Teachers who are firm, tough, yet fair, are mislabeled as, "bullies." This is such a ridiculous and false accusation. I got a tough job but I love my job and I care about the students. People don't have a clue what I do or the challenges... More »

How I handled it varied depending on the circumstances. Teacher bullying is child abuse-proove it 1st! If teacher/pricipal/staff won't stop-go above their heads-Seek help from PTO's,administration,schoolboard,media,even CPS-Child Protective Services.

No one should put up with this. Take it as high as you need to go and follow up everything in writing. Even so far as going to your local paper. School A tolerates bullying and won't help children being victimized. They will listen after that!
