My son has been a student at Marquette for 2 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about the school! The teachers truly care about the students and what’s best for them. Admin is very supportive as well!
Posted by a parent on 4/19/2023My son is in a blended PreK classroom and I have nothing but good things to say about his teachers and the staff at Marquette. They have new leadership this year and it feels great being part of their community. The principal and assistant principal are always trying to communicate and connect with
Posted by a parent on 12/16/2021This school ha s improved since it became AUSL, but it is still horrible. The teachers, Deans and Principles are trying to over compensate for the prior grade of the school, and have unrealistic ideals. Yes, they are trying to implement programs and teach in a new fashion, but the rate at which they
Posted by a parent on 11/4/2014One of Chicago's worst schools and nobody cares. Whenever I go to that school as a substitute teacher, the principal is not around. She is always in her office and everything is left to the assistant principal and the other office staff.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school's performance has been extremely concerning. My child was neglected, denied water, and not provided with any meaningful education. I have documented evidence of these incidents on a device I sent to the school. Even during a season when hydration is crucial, my child was not given water. Moreover, the teachers ignored my child and, in some cases, used force to teach him. These experiences caused significant emotional distress for my son. It's disappointing to think about how many other children, especially those from minority backgrounds, might have been negatively affected by this school's inadequate service. As a result, I decided to withdraw my son from this school. They refuse to mark. Him as homeschooling. Thus creating a "cps" situation I'M sure they are itching to achieve. Let this be known he's been in home school for 3 years. It's my choice. The system is BROKEN. Do not recommend. You take a chance.Parent Review2y ago - Morrill Elementary Math & Sci School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is very unorganized I feel like the principal doesn't do anything and only cares about her reputation. The social emotional support and special education is SO BAD, the learning is really bad too I learned nothing at this school. They are low on staff, the school couldn't find teachers since the start of the school year because the teachers DO NOT want to go to this school. I did not have a homeroom teacher for the school year so we basically didn't learn anything same with having a substitute for the math teacher and when the math teacher was there they got angry at us for us not understanding the way of how they teach. I feel unprepared for high school. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOUR CHILD GOING TO THIS SCHOOL THEY WILL LEARN NOTHING HERE PLUS THE SCHOOL REALLY NEEDS TO UPGRADE THE BUILDING THE CEILINGS IS CRUMBLING.Other Review1y ago - Claremont Academy Elementary School
