We had a very frustrating first year at this school. The professional staff is very uncooperative and rude making it hard to get appropriate information. The teachers are nice but they are very hard to get a hold of when we have concerns and little is sent home regarding the progress of the students.
... Read more When we visit the school the children are loud and disruptive. We are frustrated with the homework as it is way below our son's academic level. Also, we feel that time before school could be better spent with children playing and socializing as opposed to the movies they watch in the auditorium. Read less

My name is Juan Martinez and I went to this school! And i am proof that there is nothing really wrong with the school, it's the children, more specifically the parents. I am currently a sophomore at Walter Payton high school, the 2nd best high school in Illinois! I owe this accomplishment to all my teachers,

It's true, the school isn't so advanced academically, but the reason why Lozano isn't such a 'good' school is because the school is a bilingual school, so many non-english speaking students come in, with little to no english experience, and it slows the class, a little. The school DOES have a Spanish class, which is pretty fun; and provide ESL for non-english speaking students during English class. I think these parents should stop complaining, and become more involved with their children's education. -Juan/proud lozano student Read less

While this school certainly does have its problems, they have 3pre-K and 2 Headstart classrooms. The fact is that the bilingual ed really does not exist at this school.

This school exemplifies the problems with bi-lingual education. My daughter has atended school there for 5 years and has had some very good teachers. Her 5th grade teacher is excellent, but that does not make up for the ciriculum. The overemphasis on speaking spanish all the time gets in the way of

My daughter began to attend this school in kindergarden she is now in 1st grade, and I have been very dissapointed at the outcome.

This way single parents like myself can have more access to knowing whats going on in their childs classroom. Read less
