Bad school , no good for emotio al kids when pass grade , they have preference for kids and ypur notes, if kid dont have A or B they leave sit down . Racism too seeing in other parents and school dont make nothing.
Posted by a parent on 8/17/2025My son went here for one year and that was for 8th grade. I sent him to the neighborhood school because of issues he had with his old principal. The AP, the Dean, the office, and the 8th grade teachers especially his homeroom and math teacher are amazing. Don't sleep on neighborhood schools like I d
Posted by a parent on 6/9/2025We are a very proud Portage Park Elementary family. We have 2 kids enrolled and have enjoyed the quality of the lessons and assignments and the arts integrated approach to learning.

Posted by a parent on 9/6/2023This school does not help children with learning differences and allows them to be teased, bullied, and cast out. They are horrible at actually challenging these students and are content to allow them to fall through the cracks. Additionally, children and physically violent with one another as young
Posted by a community member on 3/29/2022We love Portage Park Magnet school! Our third and first graders are so happy and learning so much in a welcoming warm environment. The teachers, principle, and families are wonderful. We feel so blessed to live so close to such a great school.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve had a wonderful experience at Gray! The teachers are dedicated, caring, and truly invested in each child’s growth not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The communication between school and families is excellent, and it’s clear the staff works hard to create a warm, inclusive environment where students feel safe and supported. What really sets Gray apart is the sense of community. My child looks forward to going each day, and we feel grateful to be part of a place that values education, kindness, and connection. Highly recommend to any family looking for a school that truly puts students first!Parent Review9mo ago - Reinberg Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was here for pre k a long while ago and from my experience, the teachers are not great. I had this teacher and she hated me for no reason. I gave her a flower this one time and she got MAD at me! She got mad at me for everything. I moved schools after pre k so yeah. Try to find a different school, especially if you have a bad teacher.Other Review2y ago - Smyser Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average"I just love preschool. I don't know what I would do without my preschool." This is a quote from my four year old on her way home from school today. We love that she is in a school environment where we are confident the teachers and staff care about not only her academic growth and success, but also there to support her social, emotional, and spiritual well being. It's also great to be part of a school that fosters a sense of community among the families they serve.Parent Review4y ago
