7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSince September of this year my third grader has been assaulted almost everyday by two students in his class. They are troublemakers in general, but the abuse of my child in particular has gotten out of hand. This has been escalated up to the superintendent, and has yet to be resolved. I’ve gotten nothing but excuses from the school about why these students can’t be removed from his class, and why they can’t keep him safe. In addition to that, the school is not responsive to my son’s outside counselor. I signed the release for them to work with her, but they won’t return her calls. If your child tends to be a target, they won’t help. I have been advised that it will take a lawsuit to get any real change. So, that is where this is headed. That’s money out of our own pockets on top of the ridiculous property taxes we’re already paying to make this school actually do their job. Do not recommend.Other Review3mo ago - Hawthorn Middle School North

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLHS has provided what I believe to be an average education for my child, but not nearly close to what I expected given the school’s previous reputation. LHS is steadily going downhill and has already lost pace with VHHS in academics, diversity and other initiatives. The school is outdated on so many fronts and communication with families and community is poor. It’s as if LHS is stuck in a time capsule from the 90s and doesn’t know how to progress. There’s also a heavy celebration of athletics versus creative and academic extracurriculars. This isn’t a Chicago suburban high school, this is a small town high school that can’t adapt to modern changes.Parent Review1mo ago - Hawthorn School Of Dual Language
