Chedar Lubavitch Hebrew Day School

For starters, the leadership at the school is beyond terrible. They do not take bullying seriously. My student was physically assaulted multiple times and accused of serious threats all which were lies and considered unsubstantiated after their “investigation.” Those student(s) did not get suspensions. The restorative practice does not work and is not being done properly. There are neighboring schools that they can take notes from. My student was failing and did not feel safe attending school. Now that my child is attending another neighboring school, my child is thriving and getting good grades and has many friends. Why? Because the leadership at the new school involves parents together when there is an issue and sees to it that it stops immediately.

We have had an amazing experience at Rogers so far. My son is excited to go to school every day. It's a hidden gem within Chicago Public Schools-- strong academics, impressive arts opportunities, and a nurturing environment, and wonderfully diverse-- all set in a lush park-like setting. I would recommend it to any families in West Rogers Park or Rogers Park looking for a well-rounded, excellent school where you and your kids can grow deep roots.

Great teachers, the best after school program in the neighborhood! Early morning opening at 6:30 am helps parents that need to get to work and be assured that their kids are well cared for.

My daughter is in 2nd grade at Bethesda and has attended since she was three. My daughter has thrived at Bethesda and loves her school. Our family appreciates the small, family-like environment of the school. Every teacher and student knows each other no matter the age/grade. Since the classes are so small, teachers have been able to really individualize their instruction and care to best meet my daughter’s needs, abilities, and talents. All of her teachers have shown her so much love and have been very supportive of our family. The school's student population is also very diverse and my daughter has made meaningful connections with her peers and teachers.
