I am an 8th grader at this school, and it is GOD AWFUL. Every single year feels like hell, as during the third quarter, the teachers think it's just okay to dump an unimaginable amount of projects, essays, and assignments on the students. And the work we have to do? I can't remember anything from th
Posted by a student on 3/12/2026This school has progressively deteriorated for the last few years. Past and current interim principal are just not good at handling education. Some teachers bully the children and other adults and looks for scapegoats in some students. This school needs a complete overhaul and rehiring of all teache

Posted by a student on 3/1/2024Absolute Disaster for my Kindergartner. Horribly disorganized school and absolutely no communication. If you have a special needs child , I definitely do not recommend this school .

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 - Farnsworth Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Smyser. Whole family has been here for about 8 years and 6 kids, 3 graduated and went on to Taft, Lincoln Park. Teachers are awesome and super kind and full of knowledge and passion for their craft. Staff are great and really committed to the kids. Go Eagles!Parent Review1y ago - Beard Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has been hit by other students and no one notified me despite them coming home with marks and welts. The staff also tried to blame my child for over reacting or lying, despite having physical proof. Also getting them into to speech program has taken since October, and they're still not in as of April. The teacher is curt and cold to the kids at pick-up, just literally shoving them off to parents. Another classmate has bruises on their flank allegedly from a teacher trying to get them to sit. Teacher withheld reward for having a hole in my childs shoe. This is not my child's fault and should not be missing out on the school experience because I couldn't afford new shoes right away. I cannot recommend this school to another parent. This teacher does not care about the well-being and safety of the students and neither does the school for letting this continue after seeing evidence and complaints from multiple parents. I feel incredibly guilty for keeping my child at this school. If it were not for the false illusion of getting them speech and it we would have left right away.Parent Review1mo ago - New Horizon Center For The Dd
