Chicago Futabakai Japanese School

After 5 years at this school we finally had enough. We decided not to even enroll our youngest child here and sold our home to get out of the district entirely. We transitioned all 3 of our children to a new school in a completely different neighborhood. Quality of communication, education and culture in this school and entire district has steadily decreased. We are so happy we were able to get out when we did.

Very unprofessional staff in this Tarkington elementary

Kids are taught and monitored closely @ Longfellow school. You will notice an overall development in your child. Great Experience!

We tried this school for the 2021-2022 school year. The academics in middle school were not as rigorous or as high as what our children were accustomed to in their previous school. They did not have any advanced learning options and the one teacher/assistant principal who seemed to really have it together resigned in October. The rest of the administration and staff did not seem to have it together and we did not feel comfortable having our children there. There seemed to be a lot of internal strife and there wasn't much stability. We knew in February that this was not a school we wanted to have a long term relationship with. It was a difficult school year and we regretted our choice.
