Pershing Elementary School

Posted November 3, 2009

My son currently attend Pershing, we had a horrific experience at a catholic school in oak park illinois. He is not attending Pershing, getting 100 percent on all his spelling test, enjoying the school. I have joined the PTA and get envolved. I will do my part to support Pershing, standardized test cannot give a complete picture. My son's first grade teacher Mrs. Cole is excellent teacher, my experience to date has been great.

I don't put all the blame on the school the parents are not as involved as they are in other schools in the district. My first daughter went to Emerson and when we moved I noticed a difference as far as parents being involved they have open house well at Emerson every classroom was completely full when at Pershing they are lucky if one class room for every grade is full. The school is trying to do more so, I have to give them credit for it the teachers offer after school for reading and I think that is great that tells me that they do care but you would be surprised that not many kids go and that is not the schools fault that comes back to the parents but I do see alot more parents that do care so maybe this will start to change.

I have to agree, this school needs alot of work in administation. Principal is not an agreeable person.

Overrated. Needs alot of work in administration. The teachers dont listen to the kids. Parents don't know what their students deal with on a daily basis.
