This school single-handedly made me lose faith in public education. The principal is awful and will threaten parents with district intervention and possible CPS if you do something awful like pick your child up early. Letters were sent home saying that if your child was held back it was not due to just test scores (spoiler alert metrics like that is all this school cares about). Also, if the 'attendance liaison' has to contact you count on being yelled at as she tells you how many jobs she has and how many kids she takes care of as a single mom and still gets them to school on time. That seems like something that should go in a diary entry not a parent on the phone. Each one of my child's teachers made her feel like she was an annoyance and she hated going to school cause she was bullied. I didn't find out about the bullying until several months later when my kid was getting so much anxiety at school she was losing weight. Finally she broke down in tears in front of me and another staff member while I was dropping her off. I later received communication from her teacher that she had 'no idea' this was happening inside her classroom and if I was under any other assumption I was misinformed. Translation: she was calling my kid a liar without saying it. This school is so unprofessional and treats nearly all the kids like they are just something to get around so they can get a paycheck instead of what they are, the reason you're there. I don't recommend this school, in fact I recommend do what you can to make sure your kid doesn't go there.
