Having been at the school for six years, I have seen the ups and downs. Throughout it all the commitment to the children, and spirit of love for the children from all involved (Admin, Staff, students, church) has been unwavering.A Rigorous curriculum, Salem does more with less. The growth not only a
Posted by a community member on 3/16/2017Salem Christian School has made huge improvements. The transitional staff from 2013/2014 ruined the school but our board quickly recognized their mistake and brought in our current principal in 2015 who actually has experience in education. Then great teachers were brought in. These teachers deeply
Posted by a parent on 3/10/2017Salem has hit some bumps in the road over the last year but it seems they are working hard and there is hope with an incoming new principal for the 2014-15 school year. I am a contractor who works with over 50 CPS schools and I can promise you that the grass is not greener in CPS. There is more

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve been so happy with our son’s experience at Chase. Amazing teachers, amazing dual language Spanish program and perhaps one of the most impressive principles I’ve ever met. Families are super involved and we’ve been very lucky to have such a close community to build our life around. It’s slightly smaller than some of the other schools around like Goethe or Pulaski but we find that it makes the community much more tighten it, and there are more resources per student.Parent Review1mo ago - Darwin Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDo not send your children here, everything is “GREAT” until your child has an issue or you want to address something. Principal and Assistant Principal will refuse to address the problem and turn you away. We have transferred our daughters out of here immediately.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school fails to meet basic expectations. The principal is unresponsive and lacks accountability, and several teachers show little engagement or follow-through. Concerns are routinely delayed or ignored, and students do not receive the support they need. It’s concerning that even the principal’s own children attend other schools, which raises questions about confidence in the environment he leads. Leadership sets the tone, and here it is failing families and children. Significant changes are needed before I could recommend this school.Parent Review3mo ago - Lowell Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has been accepted into the pre-school program, and thus far, this has been a terrible experience. I'm interested in the dual language program, and every time I call to inquire, I receive a different answer regarding how to get him enrolled in this program. At first, I was told that it's first-come, first-served, so the sooner I complete the registration documents, the better chance my son will have. Then I was told it's a lottery system. And now I'm being told that the dual language program coordinator will reach out to me to setup a meeting to assess my son, and that she's calling people now, but I may not hear from her until the end of August. I'm just not sure I believe anything they're telling me, and it's an unbelievably stressful and convoluted situation. This school is so poorly ranked to begin with that I almost never bothered applying at all, and now I'm really questioning what type of experience my son would have here, if this is how they treat people.Parent Review1y ago - Pulaski International School of Chicago
