I have been very impressed with the leadership and curriculum at Elgin High School. They have partnered with ACC Elgin and students are now graduating with enough college credits to be juniors in college! They work hard to stay up to date on all of the latest technology and academics. I have met several parents who were very pleased with the education their kids received at Elgin High School. As far as college and career readiness, Elgin High School is top notch!

I recently moved to the area, and I am not pleased with the school district as a whole. I have 2 children that are enrolled in school, and I am questioning how they passed to go to the next grade. I find myself teaching them more than they learn in school. There are no parent teacher conferences and you will not know your child's progress unless you ask. Even asking, they would tell you "Your child is doing great", but I see otherwise. The middle school is ran like a prison because the kids only focus on dating and fighting. There were too many fights that occurred in one year and no respect for each other or the teachers. The schools are overcrowded and outdated. This was not a good experience at all. I hate having to pay taxes to go towards such a waste. Lastly the worst thing is there is no good communication with the district transportation department. I had to take and pick up my kids every day because after I enrolled them and filled out the form so my children would be assigned a bus and they never responded or sent anything. If you ask, no one knows anything either. They have a summer bridge program where the students are required to attend for 3 weeks and said they would be providing transportation during the summer and once again, they did not follow through nor respond to emails. So, I am having to figure out a schedule for my job that will allow me to pick them up.

Horrible. The faculty, staff, and families deserve a better leader. Hopefully the school will get one soon.
