This is a neighborhood school that is closer to my home and within walking distance for my children. My children were remote learners due to the 2019 pandemic and were enrolled in a Charter school originally. I felt that they would benefit more at a neighborhood school and learn in person. Since the beginning of the 2021 school year my son was experiencing racially based bullying. He was physically assaulted on multiple occasions by the Hispanics students. He is in the 2nd grade and has an older sister in the 6th grade. I repeatedly informed the staff, teachers and principle of his bullying and being called the "N" word. The school vehemently denied the bullying happening to my son and labeled him a "bad kid" for defending himself. Due to the biased environment at this school my children are in the process of transferring. English is the 2nd language and Spanish is the first language. There is not enough student diversity at Eberhart and only 3% population of African American Students. It is really a shame that two minority demographics cannot respectfully co-exist at Eberhart. I've spoken to other black parents and their children about the racism and prejudice upheld at Eberhart and they too have expressed extreme concern. We have lived on 64th and Kedzie for over 10 years and the neighborhood was very welcoming to blacks but now it is being predominately housed with Hispanics. The cultural shift of the neighborhood directly affects the culture of the neighborhood school Eberhart negatively. The racial tension and language barrier continue to exist due to the lack of the older generation teaching the younger generations kindness, respect and love for all regardless of race and ethnicity. I thought my children would benefit from the experience and the cultural difference Eberhart Elementary School has to offer. Yet instead, we were consistently reminded of the blatant racism that we as blacks face in this world every day. Eberhart Elementary School is no safe haven for black students or black parents!

not much to say about this one.the kids are nice and work very hard!the athletics are advanced too.the weakness is parking where you have to park on the streets.i had a good time working at hubbard. very nice teachers and office staff too!
