Montessori Foundations of Chgo

Excelentes maestros el personal de la escuela e general son muy amables

I don’t recommend this school because it’s not really nice and he doesn’t stay for the awards and some milks be expired and it makes stomachs hurt.

My daughter attended two school before this one. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the staff and the support. They helped me get my daughter her IEP, her grades improved drastically. She’s on the honor roll. There is so much hands on learning.

Finkl is a bit of a mixed bag. on one hand, the educational environment is pretty strong. the teachers are genuinely nice and clearly love what they do, which makes the students actually excited to learn. while there are a couple of teachers that were truly bad, the vast majority of the staff is supportive. the school also does a decent job with special education support and is very good at engaging with families, they really make an effort to include parents in the community. however, there are GINORMOUS issues with the administration that impact the schools safety and culture. during my time there, i found the social emotional support to be very poor, more importantly, there is a serious lack of fairness from the principal and assistant principal, and i truly mean it, i was at that school for a long time and by far the current AP and Principal are genuinely THE worst people in that school, they are comparable to that of a dictator. now with the fairness, there appears to be a heavy bias in how discipline is handled. any race other than african americans recieve a slap on a wrist for doing anything wrong, while other races face heavy punishment for similar or lesser infractions. because of this administrative bias and the inconsistent environment it creates, this school will continue being a mid place with the only the staff being the good part.

The entire staff works to make sure everyone feels welcome at Ruiz!

Worst school ever! Take your child out of here. Principal is quite irresponsible and teachers only protect him, people here show a face of being very kind staff, but in reality they cover their faults each other, without caring if it affects the student. Don't be fooled by their fake friendliness and be careful.
