Hay Elementary Community Academy

This place sucks nobody listens to teachers. I watched a kid YELL a slur and nobody said anything.

In my experience this school has been improving. The school is under new leadership and has recently moved back to a CPS. In the past advanced courses such as Algebra wasn’t an option because there wasn’t a certified Algebra endorsed teacher. Howe has offered Algebra for the last two academic years. I’m year 1 66% of the students that took the Algebra Exit exam passed. In year two 100% of the Algebra Exit exam passed. Teachers are educated and dedicated to providing a great learning experience. The SEL supports are second to none. All students that have an IEP are receiving services per their plan. Safety within the school is no issue the surrounding community could use some help and that’s the job of the City of Chicago. Lets not forget that schools such as Howe are over 100 years old and the building was not maintained as it should have been, but this new administration has updated the facilities. They have been making connections with businesses in the community. Websites like this don’t take those key factors into account and they also never dawn the halls of these schools. Ask yourself why are all the schools serving a majority of low income students always at the bottom? If we know that providing proper resources and personnel would help why haven’t the resources been allocated. This school is one without a gifted program, but there are gifted students at every grade level. Get to know the people, the community and then produce narratives based on firsthand experiences. The information in this site Thats being shared is from 2008, the administration is wrong, the information is wrong.

The din hit on kids and cussing at they try to hit on the kids mom

This school is so bad bad bad

This school needs a whole new staff from the principal on down to so called teachers and nurses!
