Belmont-Cragin Elementary School

such a horrible school I don't recommend this school

while writitng this i have graduated a few years ago from this school and have attened this elementary school from first to eight grade. The assignments done at school truely helped prepare for high school becuase it helps being up reading levels. They can provide more support in the math section. The teachers are alright. They do well with providing consouler support and social emotinal learing and also help accomdating students (at least from what i've seen becuase I myself did not have accomdations.)what really gets me is the community of kids that go here. They are rude and disrespectful and are bullies. This can be observeded THROUGHOUT the grades starting as early as 4th. They sell and distrubt things kids cannot have till they are 18 .They bully people and harrasment happens often. This school will give your kid insecurities and can change their behavior. Children often model the behavior of those around them. If disruptive or aggressive behavior is normalized (which it is between the kids here) they can adopt similar patterns to fit in or protect themselves. so its no wonder they are turn aggresive becuase they are surrounded by such behavior for 40 hours a week. Do not send your kid unless you want this

I have been is this school for 8 years,the school iss great,they have great teachers,i am so gladly being party pf this school.Thanks all people that work so hard to make sure all kids ate safe and have a good education.

My daughter went to this school for 3 years and overall experience it was pretty great ther was some accidents but the teacher was always sure to be communicative and helpful about the resources of the school that they can give the the student overall the teachers were always nice and supportive about making sure the students always had the help they need the rules about safety and making sure all parents are aware of any situation in school was what made me feel safe and secure about my child learning and safety I would high recommend this school to any parent who wants to enroll their child here no doubt about it

My child attended Prieto and we really loved the teachers he had for Pre-K. The security guard is so great with the kids and sometimes plays football with them in the mornings. Teachers use ClassDojo to communicate with parents. Office staff is super friendly and communicative. We get many emails and voicemails from the school with awareness of everything going on.

This School is a front that's really a failure for children! There is NOTHING really geared towards Engineering or STEM. They lie about the students grades and scores in order to make the school seems as if they're teaching the kids. CPS IS A MESS! PLEASE Stay engaged and look for private or home school for your children!
