Terrible system for bathroom passes. You can only use the bathroom once a day and are on a five minute timer.if you go over that time you loose your pass for the next day. My daughter has been scared to use te bathroom because she doesnt want to use up her passes. She had her period and bled through
Posted by a parent on 1/13/2026I have to say, Hester is a really great school. There are some teachers that are not very respectful and nice, there is about one or two teachers that don't tell us the homework when they need to and then get mad at us for not ''doing'' it. I really did wish teachers could respect their students mor
Posted by a parent on 3/13/2023This school has been mediocre for me so far. There is a complete lack of assigned homework (or very small amount of it) and the overall learning level is way too low for me. I understand that the majority of the students at our school aren’t that intelligent, but they should provide more opportuniti

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school for sure discriminates the children for their race and color. The people in the office are the worst, the principal and vice principal should do their job correctly. I been living in River Grove for 18 years not worth the money to waste on providing your taxes for this school the average test scores low, the children are so behind. The only thing I can say is special education are great but from there not worth your taxes.Parent Review1y ago - River Grove Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am not sure what the other reviews are all about my son is 5 and reads! I do dedicate time after work to help him achieve the goals, he periodically gets tested, maps he has score consistently in the 90th percentile in all aspects! His teacher is very in tune with what he lacks, the family engagement is there with tons of reading activities, holidays etc. the fact that this school is K-3rd only in this building it’s phenomenal when do you experience that! Never, you don’t have the oldest kids infesting the young ones, they get a chance to learn. Libraries, science etc. it’s amazing! It shows some of the reviews either don’t understand or have never been to a CPS school in order to properly compare.Parent Review1y ago - Whittier Elementary School
