5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI felt like I wasn't involved in the school even though I was in through all of the grades. (PK-8th Grade) I didn't know who was the counselor until I was in 7th grade.Student Review8y ago5 Reviews - Northeast Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNortheast school is not ready for diversity especially young black boys. They don't listen to parents and concerns if the parents are African-American and even the staff is complaining of a racist work environment. The school doesn't hire African American teachers and the school is half or more 50% of African American students. The staff put on a face to play the role but, the staff don't care about the African American students that they label and make out to be a problem. Staff say horrible things about children and families. This is one of the worst districts for hiring people of color and they like to hire people they know and relatives.Other Review2y ago6 Reviews - Owen Elementary Scholastic Academy

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was a new parent at Owen during the 2014-2015 year. My son was new and he fit right in. Mrs. Bailey is awesome. I could email her and vice versa with any concerns, being a new parent. I must say that the staff and teachers work really hard to make sure the students are the best of the best. I am a very involved parent and I see a lot of parents working together helping the children and one another. I saw an immediate difference in the professionalism of the Owen staff verses the school my son previously attended. It was a difference in the curriculum and I was very pleased. This school year I will have 2 children attending Owen and I am so excited and confident that Dr. Griggs and Mrs. Morris, staff and myself will help them soar. I feel as if we are all on the same team with the same goal, being the Best of the Best.Parent Review10y ago9 Reviews - Hampton Elementary Fine & Perf Arts School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school offers many performing arts activities. Dance, sports, instruments, concerts, etc. My daughter attends this school and recently feels like she is being bullied my some staff and the principal and assistant principal. She feels unsafe and feels like she cant walk around without be addressed rudely or judged by staff and teachers. She wants to leave NOT BECAUSE OF STUDENTS (she loves her classmates) but teachers and staff. She has been attending since Pre K.Parent Review11y ago4 Reviews - Ashburn Community Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy wife and I put three children through Ashburn Community School. Why three? Because we kept hoping things would eventually get better.One of the first principals—Retired Jewel Diaz—transferred our son to another school without our permission. Why? Because my wife asked too many questions. She didn’t want my wife encouraging PTA involvement, and she certainly didn’t want our son to have a paraprofessional in a general education setting.Then the second principal, a close friend of the former, took over—and continued the same hostile, dismissive culture.In total, we had three children go through this school. Our daughter did graduate, but when she got to high school, she was disappointed. Why? She realized she hadn’t truly learned anything. I looked over one of her math tests—she had seven questions wrong, yet the teacher gave her a 100%. That same teacher is now the assistant principal.One teacher even told my son and his friends, “You’ll be nothing but McDonald’s workers.” Well, as of today, that same son just attended his younger brother’s graduation—and he himself just graduated from Navy Boot Camp.Our youngest son, happy just to be finished with Ashburn, said it best: “Mom, I’m so glad I don’t have to go back to that school.” He only went because it was close to home. When he opened his final report card, the teacher who had given him the most trouble—the one who clearly disliked my wife for being too involved—gave him a D. We believe that grade was personal.This school seems to dislike parents who want to be engaged. They push back against strong voices, especially strong women and men who refuse to stay silent. Yes, some of this is personal experience—but it’s also undeniable observation.As our son walked across the stage at the Kroc Center during Ashburn’s graduation ceremony, our family felt one overwhelming emotion: relief. We’re finally done. Done with the coldness, the fakeness, and the leadership that does not have the well-being of children at heart.Parent Review11mo ago9 Reviews - Hope Lutheran

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has been at Ashburn Lutheran since kindergarten. It is a great school. I really like the smaller class size that my son thrived in. They are not caught up in the political trappings that the CPS schools are involved. His teachers have been prompt to respond to questions about my son's progress.Parent Review11y ago18 Reviews
