Excelentes maestros el personal de la escuela e general son muy amables
Posted by a parent on 8/9/2023My school has a very community enhanced environment. NOT only do we have parent mentors, parent crossing guard's but parent volunteers on all grade levels. We open EACH year with a Brighton Park Neighborhood Council party also know as "Safe Streets" to welcome new students and families to our commun
Posted by a parent on 9/1/2013This school is great i went here about 10 years ago and still remember how the teachers worked with me best principal ever Mr.Morris!!!
Posted by a community member on 7/7/2012it is a great school where children get a great education.Teachers and other staff members take time from their personal lives to help students out in their own lives. Children can make friends easily and join many after school activities based on their hobbies. I strongly recommend Burroughs Elemen
Posted by a community member on 5/25/2011They lack a lot of tact, and need to learn how to communicate with the parents. They do not challenge the students even when the child is clearly advanced. The teachers are slow in responding to any question in regards to the curriculum. Have not had a good relationship with them due to their lack o

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll the lower scores are from more than 10 years ago with a completely different principal and staff, so I thought it was time to write a more current review. My daughter just started 1st grade and this is her 1st experience with a CPS school - she was previously at a Montessori school from when she was an infant to pre-K. My wife and I are realizing more and more what a special school Everett STEM Academy is - it was designated as a STEM school in 2019, but the concentration on emotional and social growth really solidified in our minds what a great decision it was to enroll our child here. The teachers and staff know are really invested in the students...I witness during morning dropoff the school counselor, Ms. Wiley, say hi to each child by name and she asks each of them about specific things in their lives. The 1st grade teacher, Ms Salgado is encouraging of our child's successes as well as in tune with her challenges and needs. We get specific ideas on how we can continue school support for our child at home. The communication with the staff is EXCELLENT. They're very responsive to emails and input (our child is Filipino and Ms. Salgado and Ms. Wiley had some fun activities for the kids to learn about Filipino culture during Filipino Heritage month). I can't comment on the special education aspect of the school because I just don't know, but in all other aspects (learning, teaching, social-emotional support, safety, family engagement) we are so happy with Everett STEM Academy.Parent Review2y ago - Greene N Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWorst school ever! Take your child out of here. Principal is quite irresponsible and teachers only protect him, people here show a face of being very kind staff, but in reality they cover their faults each other, without caring if it affects the student. Don't be fooled by their fake friendliness and be careful.Parent Review5y ago - Calmeca Academy Elementary School
