Staff and Admin work so hard to support students. This Principal means business and has fought hard to bring in a staff that challenges students, provides support and has high expectations. Disgruntled former staff can lie all they want to...this school is a gem.
Posted by a principal on 8/17/2023Welcome to Wacker Wackos as I like to call them. This school has both good and bad aspects. The good part about this school is that it is small and intimate. On some days it can even feel like a family. The teachers seem to genuinely care for the students and push them to well. The bad part about th
Posted by a community member on 5/19/2015I am so proud of a new administration that fiercely advocates for children. They are committed to shifting the focus from the adults to the children and making sure that all children are challenged and that all staff is accountable for engaging students with a rigorous curriculum.

Posted by a community member on 11/21/2013I have been a Wacker parent since 1999 and I have seen the pot holes, hiccups and growth. Wacker is a gem of a school and my children are well prepared with high literacy and math comprehension scores.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGranted these events took place years ago but I feel like it should be spoken about, a 1st grader was placed in cuffs in the school for a fight by a security officer Robert tower hired. Him and his best clown buddy Tyson would always pick on the male students and give special treatment to the female students. Threatening to slap me while I was a student and also threatening to toss me down the stairs. This might seem like I’m salty and I might be but do deeper research on your child’s school. Robert towner seems like a nice guy but he isn’t what so ever. Until a new principal comes in I wouldn’t recommend sending your child to this schoolOther Review5mo ago - Kipling Elementary School
