Oglesby Elementary School

This school Bond Elementary in Inglewood Chicago 71st and Racine is a complete disaster, Lean On Me movie before mr. Clark was child play compared to this school, the administrators are utterly incompetent and the student completely lawless even at an elementary stage.No disciplinary structure whatsoever even if a student hit a teacher the student cannot be removed from class. The school is so bad that no new teacher stays longer than two months before quitting and no substitute teacher comes back to the school after the first postings, no discipline structure what so ever and the principal calls teacher out of class to her office during instructional time. In January 2015 four people were stabbed in this school including a teacher, a security , dean of student and another student. Students are always fighting bullying and choking each other without any consequences for their action. You can feel the toxic nature of the school as soon as you walk in. THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO BE CLOSED DOWN AND THE PRINCIPAL FIRED. its one of the worst schools i have ever seen. The principal is always making hypocritical attempt to cover up the true and disgraceful nature of the school so people don't know the facts. its a crime to send children to such a school. This is my observation when I was posted to the school to be a substitute teacher

The current Principal is the rudest person I've met in a long time. I have subbed here a few times and would not do it again. One time I had no sub plans, no roster, and no schedule (this happens regularly at Cook). Students were running around the building and I had no idea who was even supposed to be in my class because there was no roster. I alerted the principal that students were just roaming freely (at least 10 students) he shrugged and said he was busy. Did not care at all about where they were or their safety. The staff admits they don't like the principal at all and even apologized for his behavior. It's not the staff that's the problem, it's that principal. Morale is very low and if I had to deal with him every day I would not want to come to work either.

I have personally observed the principal, Mrs. McCarthy yelling at students about attendance as soon as they enter the doors din the morning. School staff have refused to assist and support a homeless family by denying the children, school supplies, new uniforms, and transportation assistance. They have violated a parent's right to have support available and isolated that parent while communicating with them. They have implemented an attendance incentive program that is unjust for all the students. The school staff is very concerned about attendance but do nothing to support students being able to attend everyday while students are performing very low academically.

It has been a very positive experience.

Stagg Elementary school is a very good school. I was there in June and I like the program and how the mothers and fathers are helpful to the teachers. I live in Georgia but if there is anything I can do for the teacher just email and I'll be glad to help my granddaughter teachers. Again thanks

my school is better that any school in the world love my school its the best

My student started Cuffe in 1st grade and graded last year to attend Whitney Young. The staff and especially the Principal is hands on.
