We have been at Dewey with both our daughters for over six years now and love it. It has become a strong community for us and our daughters. The teachers have been able to inspire our children as well as amazingly able to focus on what academic needs they have. Our oldest matriculated on to Nichols, and our youngest is in the TWI program, which has been an amazing experience for her. The PTA is very strong here and allows for parent involvement in the educational support of our community, which we also really appreciate. Great school. We're glad we moved to Evanston and to Dewey.

Do not go to this school, I had the worst experience at Haven for 3 years since 2020. The teachers here are really friendly there, it's just that the amount of learning here is below average. The teachers here do not give out homework anymore like they used to, which is good, but without it, we are not learning as much as we used to. Most of my teachers were helpful with providing learning materials to individualized students, while some others weren't. In addition, the teams were divided into 4 basketball teams, and some of the teams had teachers who understood the curriculum, while others didn't, so I think because of the team I was put in, most of my friends in my class and I were lacking from the curriculum. Also, we had a hard time getting along with the 8th assistant principal. I always see her in the hallway taking phones and being rude and arrogant to students. I also signed up to be a student ambassador, and she always picks the same kids in my class to give a tour, which I believe she had so much favoritism towards her ambassadors. Volunteering for student ambassadors is a great opportunity, but I don't recommend it just because there's so much favoritism in the group. I believe there were some changes being made with the school, but I highly recommend looking into other schools than this, because this school stressed me out, and made my life so miserable

My experience at the school was in the middle. I would see Everston Township is false advertisement. They do not provide safety as much as they say they do. They do not keep students safe as much as they say they do. They also do not have such a good emotional support system. Many adults in there are very disrespectful and get upset when students are disrespectful back, but in a place like that, we are all supposed to feel welcomed safe like family and respected, but they don’t speak on the bad there are staff members there that are entirely rude. They will argue back-and-forth with you. There are teachers there that don’t try to help and support students when they are struggling on work. punishments are so unfair there mainly towards black kids Evanston Township talks about how diverse it is, but it doesn’t talk about also how racist it is.
