My daughter had an excellent experience in kindergarten and now in first grade. My husband and I both attended neighborhood public schools and went to public universities for undergrad and grad school. We're strong supporters of neighborhood CPS schools. Through Gale, my daughter now has friends and classmates who are black, Latina/o, and white, as well as who are recent refugees from Kurdistan, Myanmar, and the Congo, to mention just a few countries of origin. The principal and teaching staff are using data-driven strategies to improve student learning, and I see a real desire to support the holistic needs of students. Gale is one of just a few CPS schools that has a greenhouse on site as well as a community-school garden that has been a focal point for partnerships with community organizations. There is a lot of negative press out there on neighborhood schools including Gale, which don't give the full picture. Please come and check it out for yourself! Thanks for reading this. :)

Our special need autistic son used to come home with wet/soiled diapers, Our son used to come home with left shoe on right feet and right feet on left shoe. Our son came home with an injury, we emailed the principle to meet on a date and time to know the truth, we went to school to meet with them to know the truth, we asked for video or anything . They ignored all our requests. They should consider themselves lucky because we didn't take any legal action. Hope they don't do to others what they did to my child.

Excellent and highly recommended. There are so many high quality educators here.

I would not recommend this day care to anyone they are irresponsible and there diversity is so bad with those day care people working there. I had a lot of bad experience with my child being there and with 6 incidents in one year, it s dark, cold in the winter it s dirty and the toys for the kids are dirty. Kids ages 2 to 3 can't speak for them selves, I sent my child to Howard Community Center she advance so mucho in such little time with out the incidents.

There are some very good teachers at this school. I like the curriculum and emphasis on the whole child. Unfortunately the ideals are often not met, and the leadership does not seem to really understand how to run a successful, happy school.
