Alcott College Prep

I’ve been going to Tubman Elementary for about 9 years and I am now in eighth grade here the school has its ups and downs but one of the many things I’d like to address is the special education and bullying 1. special education the special education for students who don’t really understand the curriculum of a class they are in can sometimes be only helpful for students who ask for the help but like me i feel stupid and dumb to ask for help from teachers or my friends and nobody comes check up on me at all which i think we as a school can improve so students can feel safe asking for help.2. bullying/harassmentthis will not be in every classroom but we had a student in our class who thought it was funny to harass the women and sometimes the males there and the teachers did absolutely nothing but take them outside to sit and tell us to not defend ourselves at all which i think is absolutely insane but i do get it tahts it because we don’t get in trouble as well but i think they could definitely do more then take them outside to take and allow them to stay in the classes of students they’re harassing. that is all,sincerely, an eight grader.

Good community school in East Lakeview. Diverse group of students with strong parent engagement. Teachers seem motivated and ready to take on the day. Lots of communication between teachers and parents in regards to classroom activities and what’s being studied on the classroom. PreK through 8 grade school.

AACA is an amazing school and I feel so lucky to have it in our community and have our boys attend. The principal, teachers and staff are amazing and go above and beyond. The academic preparedness and focus on the whole child is exceptional and is supported by two full-time counselors. There are so many ways for kids to be involved outside of school whether it's sports, musical, band, choir, set-design to name just a few. I can't think of a better school for our three boys.

We became involved in the parish in 2021 when we moved to the neighborhood and my son started in the full time PK-3 program in the Fall of 2022. Leading up to his enrollment, everyone talked about how wonderful the community was and every parent I spoke to only had incredible things to say about the school. It was all true! The staff, teachers, parents, and parish could not be more welcoming or kind. The PK 3 and 4 teachers have been wonderful, and our son has blossomed and started showing leadership skills / accountability from various classroom activities like weekly “jobs” (greeter, weather patrol, line leader, etc.). We love the anchor buddy program and the cross-grade exposure it creates. We are extremely lucky to be part of such a special school and look forward to sending our youngest there in the Fall. I am proud to be a Saint Clement parent.
