North Side

Won’t include details in fear of retaliation. My child attended here last school year (2023-2024). Our experience was really overwhelmingly bad. The bus was often broken down leaving kids stranded at school. They would call and say that I should have been at the school 20 minutes ago (how was I supposed to know?) they then threatened to call CPS on me because the bus broke down and they didn’t notify me to pick up my child. The principal was also extremely condescending towards me, asking me questions about my marriage whenever my child would be late (usually doctor’s appointments). I did not feel supported as a parent and I often felt like my child was targeted because he wasn’t receiving enough support at school. Even though we have IEPs and 504s in place. My child is also disabled, so he did have a special class he went to. This is in no way an attack on his teachers. They were amazing. This is a review about the office staff and primarily the principal. No one that unprofessional should be in charge of hundreds of students and staff members.

Even though we have only been at this school for just over a month now, the difference is night and day. Wonderful Principal, always present. Wonderful teachers and staff. Our son now talks about God, leads prayers and not to mention, scholastically, he went from only knowing a few letters and not liking to learn, to loving to learn even at home. Within a month time frame we see dramatic improvement. This school has truly been a God send.
