I cannot recommend Canty Elementary School. The administration has shown little regard for the well-being of children and seems more focused on politics and personal interests than on creating a safe, supportive environment for students.My children were bullied repeatedly, and the administration fai
Posted by a parent on 9/6/2025Amy Donahue is there to do the bare minimum. Not helpful at all. Administration also lacks in communication. Had no issues with teachers, SECAs, security. My child also had an issue when he went to preschool on Addison. Won't go into details but its a shame since she has Special Ed credentials and h

Posted by a parent on 6/12/2025Case manager will direct you to do things that you shouldnt do. Especially speaking about Amy Donahue you might lose out if you listen to her directions regarding parent compensation checks for special needs.
Posted by a parent on 4/19/2023If I can give this school a zero I would. They destroy kids self esteem and treat kids so horribly. My child is traumatized by one particular teacher as well as the administration. I'm so disappointed in what this school did to my child. They broke my child down and my child still suffers immensely.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs our son finishes 4th grade and gets ready to move on to middle school, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.These past years have meant so much to our family. The school has such a warm, family-like atmosphere, and it made a huge difference for us.He started school with a speech delay and received both speech therapy and occupational therapy. A few weeks ago, the school specialists told us he no longer needs these services… and it was such an emotional moment for us. The progress he has made is incredible.We know this didn’t happen by chance — it’s because of the patience, kindness, and dedication of the amazing teachers and specialists at this school.The principal, teachers, and staff are just as wonderful — modern, caring, and truly professional.You didn’t just help him learn — you helped him grow, gain confidence, and believe in himself.We will always be grateful for this chapter in his life.Thank you for everything you do every single day.Parent Review3w ago - River Grove Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey hired a worker "behavioral interventionist" who is implementing his experiences with gang and violence on streets in Humboldt Park on students in Dever. Real "pro" who is supposed to help students with social - emotional support is actually just reporting on students and call them problematic. He should be hired in detention center not in school. Bad for Dever they hire undergraduate with no degree in pedagogy to interact with students.Parent Review5mo ago - John Mills Elementary School
