This school fails to meet basic expectations. The principal is unresponsive and lacks accountability, and several teachers show little engagement or follow-through. Concerns are routinely delayed or ignored, and students do not receive the support they need. It’s concerning that even the principal’s
Posted by a parent on 2/20/2026I currently (and regrettably) attend this below-average school that doesn't have a safe environment for me to attend as a 7th grader. ELA/SS Teacher bullies me in front of the whole class. Although some teachers are kind and supportive, most if not all, ignore me being bullied.
Posted by a student on 10/29/2025Goethe is an amazing school with such great supports. We transferred to this school because of the inclusive, supportive environment and we couldn’t be happier with how they have dealt with both of our very different children.
Posted by a parent on 9/28/2023Beyond our kids having access to an amazing education and additional opportunities for sports, creativity, clubs, etc., Goethe is more than just a school--it's a community.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve been so happy with our son’s experience at Chase. Amazing teachers, amazing dual language Spanish program and perhaps one of the most impressive principles I’ve ever met. Families are super involved and we’ve been very lucky to have such a close community to build our life around. It’s slightly smaller than some of the other schools around like Goethe or Pulaski but we find that it makes the community much more tighten it, and there are more resources per student.Parent Review1mo ago - Darwin Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDo not send your children here, everything is “GREAT” until your child has an issue or you want to address something. Principal and Assistant Principal will refuse to address the problem and turn you away. We have transferred our daughters out of here immediately. Horrific admin.Parent Review2mo ago - Drummond Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had children at Drummond for the past 15 years and have had most of the teachers in the school. Every one of the teachers and Principal Kittle have been amazing to every student that I have ever seen them interact with. The parent community here is very involved and if you’re willing to get involved yourself, I think you will find Drummond to be incredibly supportive. I would recommend this school to anyone.Parent Review6mo ago - Moos Elementary School
