Morgan Park

This school is terrible. The diverse learners hit each other and bully each other and no one is doing anything about it. The principal and assistant principal are dismissing it and not doing anything helpful about it. A diverse learner boy got his face smashed into the wall right by the stairs with no supervision and his tooth got chipped. Do not let your child come here. This is the worst principal I have ever seen and she needs to be fired. They didn’t give the girl who did it any punishment or repercussions. Then she has been bullying the boy for years, she kicked him in his leg and sprained something and tripped him during one of their trips and broke his leg. The teachers tried to cover it up saying he just “fell”. In one of the pictures they send out to parents after trips, you can see the girl trying to hit him and him cowering away. Nobody ever did anything or told anything as to what happened and we had to find out because she chipped his tooth. This school is very dangerous and overall terrible.

the kids dont have plays no mother son father daughter dance no music I think the parents and the community need to get more involved including myself

Overall he loves the school and was mad that he was transferring this year.

If your only requirement it's a cheaper " Christian" education, then this is the school for you. However, if it's actually a quality education you seek for your child, I strongly suggest you go elsewhere! Though the teacher. my child had was ok, she lacked the resources and support from administration to truly make a difference. And I also agree with the previous post that everything is so disorganized! To see real improvement, a change is definitely needed staying. at the top!

As the parents of kids who have been at Morgan Park Academy for Lower and Middle School, we're so grateful to be part of this community.As a multiracial family, it was important to us to find a school where our children would feel like they belonged. From day one, MPA has been a welcoming, kind, and diverse community where our kids have always felt supported and encouraged to be themselves.The teachers are incredible. They are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely care about their students. Our kids have especially loved their world language and arts classes. They have helped them build confidence and creativity in ways that go far beyond the classroom. Some of their favorite memories have come from the travel opportunities at MPA. They've gained independence, built lasting friendships, and had experiences that simply can't be recreated in a classroom.Our kids love going to school. They look forward to seeing their friends each day, and they feel known, valued, and safe with their teachers. As parents, there's really nothing more we could ask for.Our family would recommend MPA without hesitation.

My two kids have been going to St walters St Benedict School since Pre-school. I can tell you for free it's one of the best decision we made as a parent. We contemplated changing school because we live far from the school but, the school always out perform themselves in academy, school culture and etc. So we are going to be sticking to the school for a long time. They do have excellent teachers who pay attention to every detail. The school's communication with parents is topnotch. I see improvements on one of my kids this session. My mind is always at peace whenever they are in school knowing they are in good hands.
