Cmecca School

My daughter transferred here from CPS and her enthusiasm for learning and wanting to go to school everyday has increased. All her teachers, therapists, social worker and administration has been wonderful. I'm finally able to relax and trust that my daughter is in wonderful hands. I can't keep her away. Lol

A Zero!!!! Terrible!! My Child was a Very Quiet, Sweet kid No behavior Problems. The Kindergarten Teacher even said he was Quiet but knew his Work. My Child said "Momma I didn't Learn nothing at that Stupid School." That's really Sad coming from a Six year old. I wouldn't recommend No Parent that Loves their Child, and Care about their Education, and Safety to send their Child to this School. It's plenty other Wonderful Nearby Private Schools that are better. I felt this Review was well needed; because I see there are No up-to-date Reviews on here. This is My True and Honest Opinion and Experience with my Child at this School.

If you have a perfect and well rounded kid, they will do well at this school. If you have a child who needs additional support, this is not hte place for your child. The administration is predominately white. The students are predominately African American. The only African American teacher is the kindergarten teacher and gym the teacher. Many teachers don't know how to relate to African American students, especially the boys. The way they handle discipline is not equal. Some students are punished while others get a slap on the wrist. There was one male African American assistant principal or dean but he left after two years, and without notice. The principal is not responsive and avoids confrontation. Again, with a student body of predominately African Americans, there are not enough African Americans in adminstrative/faculty roles. Curriculum is solid and your child will get an excellent education if you fall in line and play by the rules. If you require special needs or assistance or would like your child to have a positve role model to interact with on a daily bases, look somewhere else. Lastly it's a little pricey, they do offer financial aid, but the school does not have an HVAC system, so if you have a child with asthma, hot chicago months will be a challenge. There are window a/c in the classrooms but the halls and rest rooms are not cooled and some of the window unites recycle outdoor air which during extremely hot and humid months is not the best air to recycle.

No good!!! Children are not learning at their grade level. Teachers are not teaching; too busy spanking kids. The kids are allowed to play inappropriate games on computers all day. Most of the staff members are related and no one is being held accountable for providing quality education. Principle is always making negative statements about black people in front of the students even though 100% of the staff and students are black; teaching kids to hate themselves. Worst school ever unfortunately.
