St Therese School

This is a good school I would recommend it because of the ability to learn and at the same time you can also have more fun

The quality of the school as a recent graduate was average at best and saddening at worst. I will only talk about eighth grade overall because i best remember it. The eighth grade teachers try their best but lash out often (usually for good reasons and intentions) However work at times can feel repetitive and some assignments are never graded or checked (mostly in Social Studies and Reading) which leads to alot of frustration among the students, leading to lackluster effort in work. Additionally, this applies to math and mathematics only, our teacher very poorly taught and reviewed the subject. She sped ran the teaching of it, creating confusion and overall suffering because of our lack of time to process the information and lack of good teaching for us to understand it. The teachers have empathy for the students, giving us break time after stressful periods such as CPS testing. The teachers tried incorporating fun projects and work at some points but I think we should've had more creative projects that made us truly think about it. Our prep teachers were okay overall, however some can be unnecessarily rude and mean and times. Actually, a good amount of faculty were unreasonably rude and disrespectful towards students yet expected respect from said students they disrespected. Most of the students is just friends with others of the same race and mild discrimination (usually jokes but some people are just racist/other discrimination). Anyways this school was fine

This school is teaching the per-k transgender stuff. They seem to celebrate everything but GOD. Do not trust them. They are the problem.

Going downhill really fast. The bullying in school and then shaming by the leadership if reported is terrible. The droning on about 'equity' and not education related activities, performances, and art has made this an un-serious institution. We get it, you like to virtue signal, but it is killing basic math, reading, and science education performance. We are leaving the school ASAP.

Our son started at Pre-K 3 and now is in the 3rd grade. He loves going to school. His classmates are not all catholic which is not a requirement. Teacher to students ratio is far lower that in any South Loop public schools, so students get more personalized attention, improved academic performance, greater student engagement. Teachers can tailor their instruction to individual student needs, provide more one-on-one help, and identify struggling students more easily. Students also benefit from stronger relationships with their peers and teachers, which can boost confidence and a positive attitude toward learning. The student-teacher ratio has been found to be one of the strongest indicators of student success and engagement. School celebrates the holidays of other religions, so all students feel welcomed. Many parents volunteer and socialize and you can feel that they really care about the school.

I want to start off by saying that we are very lucky to have ended up enrolling with Pui Tak. Coincidentally, during the enrollment period at Pre-K, our son was diagnosed with a medical condition that requires substantial monitoring and management. We did not know what to expect when we informed the school staff, however they stepped up without hesitation and formed a planned with us so that our son could attend school and pursue his education unhindered (as much as his condition would allow, anyways). Additionally, our son is still thriving academically several years later. From my observations, the school excels in tailoring lesson plans to the individual student and addressing any needs that standout, whether academic or socio-emotional/behavioral. We are very grateful for the support that the school has provided our son throughout the years and look forward to continuing his education under the school's tutelage.
