This school is vastly better than Kensington School (private school) and the teachers are fantastic! This school is a true gem in Arlington Heights.
Posted by a parent on 2/14/2025The counselors are amazing, but bullying is rampant at this school. The kids are pretty awful. They are awful to each other. Wearing orange once a month has had little impact on these kids; they need feedback for their bullying—but the school is terrible at addressing it.
Posted by a parent on 3/21/2022Incredible teachers providing excellent leadership to our kids. Couldn't ask for more from this school. Glad we moved into Poe's boundaries

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAfter 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.Parent Review3y ago - Booth Tarkington Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been in Tarkington for 4 years. The teachers and staff go out of their way to make sure each child is thriving. We have IEP’s and feel like our children’s needs are met and they are progressing with the help of dedicated staff. The school makes sure there are events that take place after school that encourage family togetherness. We really love it at Tarkington and will be sad when our time here is over.Parent Review1y ago - Greenbrier Elementary School
