National Teachers Elementary Academy

This is a good school I would recommend it because of the ability to learn and at the same time you can also have more fun

This school is teaching the per-k transgender stuff. They seem to celebrate everything but GOD. Do not trust them. They are the problem.

Faculty is largely great. Administration is above par. Discipline (admin) is terrible. On the surface, bullying and other common problems are not tolerated, as long as students are of the ‘right’ minority. Administration sides with one demographic often. ‘Assistant principal doesn’t like anyone that’s white or perceived as white’, quote from a Hispanic student.

Our son started at Pre-K 3 and now is in the 3rd grade. He loves going to school. His classmates are not all catholic which is not a requirement. Teacher to students ratio is far lower that in any South Loop public schools, so students get more personalized attention, improved academic performance, greater student engagement. Teachers can tailor their instruction to individual student needs, provide more one-on-one help, and identify struggling students more easily. Students also benefit from stronger relationships with their peers and teachers, which can boost confidence and a positive attitude toward learning. The student-teacher ratio has been found to be one of the strongest indicators of student success and engagement. School celebrates the holidays of other religions, so all students feel welcomed. Many parents volunteer and socialize and you can feel that they really care about the school.

I want to start off by saying that we are very lucky to have ended up enrolling with Pui Tak. Coincidentally, during the enrollment period at Pre-K, our son was diagnosed with a medical condition that requires substantial monitoring and management. We did not know what to expect when we informed the school staff, however they stepped up without hesitation and formed a planned with us so that our son could attend school and pursue his education unhindered (as much as his condition would allow, anyways). Additionally, our son is still thriving academically several years later. From my observations, the school excels in tailoring lesson plans to the individual student and addressing any needs that standout, whether academic or socio-emotional/behavioral. We are very grateful for the support that the school has provided our son throughout the years and look forward to continuing his education under the school's tutelage.

I have two boys at St. Jerome, going into 5th and 2nd. This is our second year and I am VERY happy with the school. Academically, I feel they are really being challenged. I am a big fan of the curriculum-they teach the common sense, fundamentals that kids need without all the nonsense public schools are teaching these days. There is very strong parental involvement and tons of activities that the kids get involved with generous jeans to support causes, many field trips, mother-son mayhem, father-daughter dance, all-school picnic and many other unique activities that I haven't seen at other schools.
