Ours has been a CCS family for 13+ years and has been able to see firsthand how successful the CCS community is at engaging 4-5 years old and helping them grow into confident, capable, and empathetic young adults. In early childhood, the children are nurtured and made to feel safe as they begin thei
Posted by a parent on 2/28/2025Lots of teacher rotation. Terrible support for kids with learning differences. The math program in middle school is terrible. And heard from other parents that all 8th graders need to get tutors and spend 6k to get a decent score in placement tests.Also is it a coincidence that all positive recent s

Posted by a parent on 10/31/2024Experienced teachers that truly care about developing children both academically and emotionally. Very inclusive community of parents and faculty.
Posted by a parent on 10/30/2024Catherine Cook has had a wonderful effect on our boys who have been at the school from Pre-K to middle school. One of the things we have valued the most is the small class sizes and focus on teaching kids how to think rather than rote memorization. The school is a bit unknown because they don't inve

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have a 1st and 4th grader on campus and have had such a wonderful experience with Ogden over the past 5 years. On campus principal, Dr. Kelly is an amazing leader and so enthusiastic. The teachers and support staff are outstanding. No one should hesitate to send your child to Ogden. Especially if this is your neighborhood school. I don’t understand the negative reviews. My kids love it here and we do too.Parent Review2mo ago - Salazar Elementary Bilingual Center

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur experience at Chicago Grammar School has been excellent. After a rough Kinder experience at a large school, we started looking for a smaller school for our son. He joined CGS at Grade 1. CGS’s close-knit environment did wonders for him. He came out of his shell, went from being overly shy and timid to a confident 2nd grader (soon to be 5th grader in Fall 2020). It has been so cool to see him grow and flourish and we are thankful to have found CGS, via word of mouth in our case. It is Chicago's hidden gem. Our favorite part of the school is how effectively they support students who need differentiated learning. The teachers are amazing when it comes to working with me whenever differentiation is needed. I love that all teachers (regardless of grade) are on the school app, so I can quickly find the teacher and send them a text via the app. Speaking of the app, I personally am a big fan of the school being app-based. The entire school is on the app - teachers, parents and admin – everyone is reachable. Homework, grades, one-on-one teacher/student/parent feedback, school announcements...all in one place. It has been the most productive way to communicate that I've seen to date. It brings a neighborhood feel to the school, which private, city-wide schools usually lack in my opinion. We visited 3 small-medium sized private schools, applied to 2, got accepted to both, but it was the visit portion to CGS that cemented the decision for us. If you’re looking for a warm and nurturing, but smaller elementary school environment for your child, CGS is a school a parent must visit before making a final decision because your child will be spending a very big portion of their life’s hours in this elementary school environment.Parent Review5y ago - Bright Horizons at The Atrium
