Posted by a community member on 8/26/2022Excellent, my child is learning not only in the classroom but the social development and student interaction has been very positive. Teachers and staff have been encouraging and the parent involvement has been very strong.
Posted by a parent on 6/2/2018My son will be going into 2nd grade at McDade. This school is the only reason we still live in the city. It's small close knit and very intentional about providing an excellent education for kids. When you have generations of parents and grandparents still heavily involved in the school, that speaks
Posted by a parent on 5/27/2018The kindergarten curriculum is definitely rigorous. The teacher is really concerned about the students and makes an effort to differentiate the levels of giftedness by providing opportunities to be challenged. It can seem overwhelming the amount of homework given. However, the goal is to have your c
Posted by a parent on 11/8/2014The administration at McDade has gone to great lengths to procure technology for the school as the school continuously gets passed over for technology grants from CPS even though it's a Level 1 school. The PTA has really stepped it up this year to provide programs for parents as well as activities f

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school needs a lot of changes starting with leadership. All the way to the president of the PAC. The PAC needs someone who will represent the interest of ALL parents and students and not the interest of the principal.Parent Review6y ago - Pirie Elementary Fine Arts & Academic C

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student I’ve been at this school my entire life, I’ve seen the highs and lows. The teachers are great yeah you’ll get bored but they manage to make it fun, they manage with little support, they try their hardest and never gave up on us and that’s what matters. Even if there were fights they were quickly resolved, the staff and parents stepped in when in need. They once provided ice pops for the entire school on an extremely hot summer day.i genuinely love this school and hope that my next school is just as supportive and innovative as possible.Other Review9mo ago - Ashe Elementary School
