I was in some of the special education (SPED) classes. The school was supposed to support SPED, but the program was a joke and didn’t teach me much. It felt like the school didn’t care about SPED at all. Because I had dyslexia, they put me in very low-level classes that didn’t match my actual abilities. If you weren’t in SPED, your education was perfectly adequate—but for students like me, it wasn’t.

As a parent of a kindergartner, our experience has been wonderful. The teachers are great, facilities are beautiful, curriculum is strong and our son is having a fantastic experience.

Hoffman is a wonderful school. I came from a neighboring district that has been ranked with the top of the line schools / high school for as long as I can remember. Glenview schools have by far exceeded my expectations and they have gone above and beyond with my child. The teachers are extremely educated, kind, supportive and encouraging. I am so glad we made the move!

This is just based on the first day at a new school experience.We pre-registered, and paid our fees/dues, submitted vaccination records, all by the week prior to the first day of school. First day of school, they didn't have a class schedule, no locker assignment for the new student. Staff walked student around to different classes asking if teacher had space in their class. Parading the student around from class to class, in front of a classroom full of students. Shining a spotlight on the new kid to the school. Bare in mind during COVID we should be limiting movement and have assigned seating. Overnight I received the class schedule and at least one class is different from the first day, so already switching classes on the second day of school. If you are transferring your kid to this school, if you register during the summer like I did, you might have the same experience on the first day of school because I still have not heard back from the administration as to when we needed to register by to ensure new students would be set with a schedule and locker on their first day of school. I don't see a point pre-registering. Might as well have walked in the first day of school to register. Would've gotten the same experience. At least wouldn't have to dish out the fees/dues early. If I had known, I would have waited till the school assigned a class schedule before having student go in. It's already tough on a kid going to a new school, but to go to classes the first day, then have to switch to a different class the next day, it's like starting at a new school twice. If any PTA members read this, when you call me, I will be telling you about this experience as the reason I won't be donating this year. If anything, for not treating my kid like every other student on the first day, I should be asking for a refund on the fees/dues I already paid to the school. If you are relocating and here doing research, do yourself a favor and consider moving to District 30 boundaries instead. Maple Middle School seems to have better ratings on this website. The schools are 10 minutes from each other.
