8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMost teachers are wonderful. And we're extremely lucky to have them. Principal is lacking serious leadership skills. The teachers that aren't as "passionate" get away with some sketchy behaviors. Lots of yelling in classrooms. Lots of inappropriate and negative comments made to students. I guess you do what you can get away with. Hosting little to almost no family nights, the ones that are hosted are extremely chaotic and unstructured.Parent Review2y ago - South Elgin High School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs with ANY school parent involvement is the number one indicator of student success. If you encourage and support your kids through their U-46 school experience they will be very successful. Our two kids have grown up in the district and plan to graduate with honors. Very well prepared for college with our daughter being accepted into UChicago Pritzker for pre-med.Parent Review1mo ago - Kenyon Woods Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school has been excellent in our time with a child attending. The teachers are supportive and creative in their teaching, and they encourage each student to bring their own unique talents to the classroom environment and homework. As a parent, I appreciate the way the school holds students to standards of conduct and academics, without being so strict that it would inhibit kids from being kids. The other parents seem engaged and enthusiastic about the school as well. Lastly, the opportunities to cross over in the arts and other areas with the high school next door is a real value-add that enhances the transition from 8th to 9th grades while also giving HS students leadership and mentorship exposure.Parent Review6y ago
