Burnside Elementary Scholastic Academy

I completed a student observation for graduate school at Arthur Dixon. I absolutely loved the atmosphere, staff, admin, and the support that students were provided to enrich their overall educational experience. The African artwork, history, and culture is beautiful.

A former student was able to enter the building and was buzzed in...able to get past the desk and security as there was no 9ne attending putting thr other students at risk. I think every parent should question the school and make sure they are protecting the students.

Great experience interacting with staff members as well as parents and students

The school needs a lot of changes starting with leadership. All the way to the president of the PAC. The PAC needs someone who will represent the interest of ALL parents and students and not the interest of the principal.

Harold Washington Elementary School is a dynamic and nuturing place for learning and support. The administration and staff really care about the students and seem to be supportive of staff.

As a former student I’ve been at this school my entire life, I’ve seen the highs and lows. The teachers are great yeah you’ll get bored but they manage to make it fun, they manage with little support, they try their hardest and never gave up on us and that’s what matters. Even if there were fights they were quickly resolved, the staff and parents stepped in when in need. They once provided ice pops for the entire school on an extremely hot summer day.i genuinely love this school and hope that my next school is just as supportive and innovative as possible.

My rating of this school comes from my experience being around the principal,.parent volunteers, teachers and students. This place is representative of a true community/family oriented school. Everyone there works so very hard to make sure that the students are getting the best education possible. They true put kids FIRST here.
