great school! I have been here twice for preschool and once last year for an event, this school has definitely gotten better and it's pretty underrated in my opinion.
Posted by a community member on 9/30/2023My children have had a wonderful experience at Palmer. They are deeply cared for by teachers and staff. They have made great friends and are enjoying the diverse extra curricular activities provided!

Posted by a parent on 2/17/2017I absolutely love Palmer!!! From Mr. Ray to the teachers both of my boys have had. Its a very friendly school and they all work hard to make learning fun. Palmer is on its way to bigger and better things.
Posted by a parent on 5/13/2016Palmer is a great neighborhood school in an otherwise challenging school system. It's a melting pot of cultures, representative of Chicago as a whole. The principal, Mr. Ray, is an enthusiastic leader, who has worked hard to raise the level of excellence at the school. He continues to create program

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two kids and couldn’t be happier with our time at Beaubien. Safe and welcoming teachers and community. My kids were very happy here in the and went on to attend Selective Enrollment high schools in the city. The teachers and staff do a great job caring for their academic and emotional needs. .Parent Review4y ago - Belding Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe transferred in for junior high and our experience has been wonderful! They are able to challenge students who are excelling and provide extra support for those who need it. The IB curriculum is great, creating more project based learning experiences for students, which is a more effective way for student learning.Parent Review3y ago - Haugan Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHaugan is an exemplary school where students are truly accepted and inspired to become life-long learners. I truly believe that the leaders at Haugan put kids first. Each teacher promotes so much student engagement and a true ownership of their learning. The classroom communities are fostering well-rounded students who embrace learning, each other and the world around them.Teacher Review10mo ago - Volta Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe enrolled our son at Gateway as soon as he was old enough to attend (15 months), in the Community classroom. As he has progressed into Children's House (ages 3-6), it has been a joy to watch him develop across all of the elements that made a true Montessori environment so critical for us: practical life, grace and courtesy, and the hand-to-mind tactile connection that is made through the combination of classroom materials and the careful individual preparation and observation of his guides.The facility is modern and exceptionally welcoming and cared for. Leadership is responsive and caring. As for the classroom guides and aides: words can't describe the immense effort and love they put into their work with the children. As one of only two-AMI accredited Montessori schools in Chicago, we lucked out that this absolute gem happens to be within a mile of our home.Parent Review2y ago - Our Lady of Victory
