Worst experience ever my child came from a privat3 school until 5th grade then we switched to public school huge mistake my kid was bullied by PE assistant, but teachers and administration worst people rude towards kids,zero tolerance and empathy....and the principal as well as the counselor answer " let me see what I can do". Which never happened....do not recommend it at all

My child has been at Eisenhower for two years now. I have been extremely happy with the general atmosphere of the school. You can tell that the principal is dedicated to making a community of respect and inclusion. The majority of the staff has been there for at least 5 years (a lot far more than that) and you can tell that they are truly in the field because they love what they do. I was initially unsure if I would open enroll into one of the more niche elementary schools or opt for the neighborhood school. Ultimately, I decided that having a school that is filled with the children that live around us outweighed the possible small gains from the other schools. I didn't even tour Eisenhower, just opted for the "neighborhood". I am so pleased that it is such a hidden gem of a school and I feel quite lucky to have wound up with it. :)They have a lot of programming that is geared towards getting the students to interact with other age groups. Eco-Eagles, Jump rope club, Yoga, K-5 buddies, to name a few. They also just started a "nest" program where all of the students have been divided into small groups that mix each grade and place them with a staff member. This group meets once a month and it lets the kids get to know other students throughout the school. My daughter is so happy there. If any staff at Ike is reading this, THANKS!

Ah Fairview. I've experienced both a lot of ups and downs during my time here. While some of the students may not be the most accepting of different political beliefs, they're at least mostly friendly if you don't bring up politics. On the downside, Fairview was the very place where I got my first taste of racism. Even when I spoke up, I don't think the issue was really dealt with. Additionally, the teachers here really care about their students. There are so many clubs one can be involved in (and it's easy to start a club too!) and there's really something for everyone. For me, I joined the debate team and it was definitely the best decision of my life. Not only did it help me improve my confidence and my argumentation skills, I made really good friends with my teammates. There were times that I wished I hadn't gone to Fairview, but overall, if I could go back in time to 8th grade when I was choosing a high school, I'd probably still choose Fairview. Yes, I surely had some ups and downs and rough times, but overall, still a good experience and I can't imagine going to a different high school
