My child started in district 81 in 4th grade after attending Chicago public schools. In Chicago she was labeled special ed, put into an all inclusive Special Ed class. When she started at Washington, she was at a first grade level in reading and math. The schools both Washington and Lincoln mainstreamed her into regular classrooms. By the time she was graduating 8th grade, she had been removed from special education, was invited into the IMSA Fusion program for Math and Science, had been on the honor roll for 4 years straight, received an Educational Academic Achievement award from the White House and tested and was placed into all AP and Honors classes in high school. Schools don't get any better then that, except when you add on all the arts and music programs and after school activities, they do!

I was hesitant when my daughter started in this school because of the reviews and rates but we have the best experience so far. With my second daughter, we started with preschool and I’m very satisfied with the way they are preparing the kids for Kindergarten.

Teachers are excellent, great communicators and inspire kids. Upper management such as superintendent and such, have never worked in customer service obviously. They do need to add an element of service since they are serving kids and parents in a sense. Lack of communication skills was observed and problem solving is lacking also. You better don't face them if you have an opinion different from theirs on school matters.

This high school is excellent. They offer career classes along with dual credits with triton college in certain classes. I must say is very awesome. They are very family oriented they always kept me in tune with both of my boys grades. So I always knew Also parent teacher conferences and meeting the teachers are great I highly recommend. I have one graduate from there who is currently in college now and I also have a junior who will be graduating next year. I highly recommend this high school they help put your kids in the right direction and what to do for college.
