The teachers, staff, and administration at this school are top notch! We hand-picked this school, and we could not be any happier with the outstanding education and services for which my child has participated. There is a lot of work and homework and my child, who was "behind", has been able to start catching-up to her classmates. This is due to a lot of hard work and dedication on the part of my child, myself, her teacher(s), and the school staff. I can't so much speak to the "parent involvement" as I currently am not able to be as involved as I would like.

This is a bad school. The main problem with this school is the absence of a supportive, student-focused administration. The principal is inept and completely lacks resolution when it comes to handling problems with teachers, and will always side with the teacher despite student welfare. Additionally, there is no sense that this school is poised to make any positive changes for the future. There's no conscious decision to be progressive or proactive on the part of the administration. Yes, they implemented a Montessori program several years ago, but it has stayed afloat by parental involvment, not the administration's own initiative. Additionally, the administration has a history of hiring teachers that have no experience teaching in a Montessori environment. The program is mediocre in comparison; definately not noteworthy yet. We removed our children from this school, like many others before us, and placed them in a school with lower test scores. An evaluation upon entering their new school, put them at over a full grade level behind! You owe it to your child to avoid this school.

My Review it's on 5th grade. Not happy with the attention in the overall of my kids behavior and grades from the teacher, there is not communication in between teacher and parents. Not all the parents can go to school every week. I found out everything from my kid. My 3rd grader 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!
