Sherman School of Excellence

Love the school it’s the best of them all

Staff do not care for the well being of your child while in their care. If your child has special need or has an IEP, this isn’t the school. They play favoritism and will not discipline students when bullying occurs. Staff members are nonchalant. Inappropriate student to teacher behavior. The dean WILL yell at your child which explains why a lot of students do not attend the school. I spoke with principal and she told me to transfer school because nothing will change. Very bad attitudes and your child will not be watched properly. This school is a huge disappointment. They are dropping academically every year and it’s because they aim to comfort the staff and not the parents and students. Please think twice about this school because it need a turn around. The dean will not take action if the child is in there favor. This school has affected my child’s behavior in a horrible manner because of constant disciplinary issue being over looked.

My son transferred here to Graham from southwest suburb school. My kindergartner has really blossomed since he became one of Mrs. Karnezis 's sunflowers. He loves going to school. Mrs. Karnezis fosters independence and encourages her sunflower students to engage in discussions and lessons. She is outgoing, and has a great personality that the children respond too. I was appalled at how my son's first kindergarten teacher interacted with the kiddos. My son was walking in eggshells around her. Kindergarten should be an amazing experience, and at Graham, my son has that. I went to Graham when I was in Elementary, and my family, Conners, have been in the Canaryville Neighborhood for generations. I love the sense of community and how Graham fosters choice and voice for their students. Thank you!

The students of this school are very out of control and lack respect. The older children use profane language to each other as well as the teachers. They are cruel. And it is not the teachers faults. this is just a bad area that influences the children. something needs to be done

I went to this school I was badly bullied and picked on and no one in the school cared I got whipped by my teacher if I did something wrong. But I did learn a lot and their field trps are fun sinse the last time I have been there.

LIbby is a wonderful place for students to learn and grow. The school provides rigorous educational and a ton of extracurricular activities that engage students and provide opportunities for them to grow and learn to the best of their abilities. Libby is a place that emphasizes the importance of dreaming big and becoming college ready. Libby is a place where students, staff and parents feel like family. Libby is also a wonderful asset to the community and had outreach programs that support the continual growth of people within the community.
