Lyon Elementary School

while writitng this i have graduated a few years ago from this school and have attened this elementary school from first to eight grade. The assignments done at school truely helped prepare for high school becuase it helps being up reading levels. They can provide more support in the math section. The teachers are alright. They do well with providing consouler support and social emotinal learing and also help accomdating students (at least from what i've seen becuase I myself did not have accomdations.)what really gets me is the community of kids that go here. They are rude and disrespectful and are bullies. This can be observeded THROUGHOUT the grades starting as early as 4th. They sell and distrubt things kids cannot have till they are 18 .They bully people and harrasment happens often. This school will give your kid insecurities and can change their behavior. Children often model the behavior of those around them. If disruptive or aggressive behavior is normalized (which it is between the kids here) they can adopt similar patterns to fit in or protect themselves. so its no wonder they are turn aggresive becuase they are surrounded by such behavior for 40 hours a week. Do not send your kid unless you want this

I was here for pre k a long while ago and from my experience, the teachers are not great. I had this teacher and she hated me for no reason. I gave her a flower this one time and she got MAD at me! She got mad at me for everything. I moved schools after pre k so yeah. Try to find a different school, especially if you have a bad teacher.

My daughter went to this school for 3 years and overall experience it was pretty great ther was some accidents but the teacher was always sure to be communicative and helpful about the resources of the school that they can give the the student overall the teachers were always nice and supportive about making sure the students always had the help they need the rules about safety and making sure all parents are aware of any situation in school was what made me feel safe and secure about my child learning and safety I would high recommend this school to any parent who wants to enroll their child here no doubt about it

This School is a front that's really a failure for children! There is NOTHING really geared towards Engineering or STEM. They lie about the students grades and scores in order to make the school seems as if they're teaching the kids. CPS IS A MESS! PLEASE Stay engaged and look for private or home school for your children!

My son started in PK3 at age 4, and every year he’s grown into a confident learner and a kind, respectful person. The teachers and staff truly care, shoutout to Ms. Marta, Ms. Patti, Ms. Rettelle (honestly all the teachers!) because they don’t just focus on academics, they teach real-life values too. The small class sizes make a big difference, allowing teachers to give each student attention and support you just can’t get in larger schools. It’s a place where kids thrive both academically and personally. Area of improvement would be more parent involvement and engagement to continue to support school groups like Parents Club, the School Advisory Board, and Athletic Clubs, that support the teachers and staff, directly impacting the children. Highly recommend!
