In my experience with this school, the teachers and non teaching staff has good experience in what they are doing. They support family engagement. They support the students in their academic skills and helps and support in special education areas. They are very knowledgeable.
Posted by a parent on 3/30/2026Absolutely not a fan of this school's administration.

Posted by a parent on 3/12/2023Just moved over here 1 year ago and I have nothing negative to say and neither does my child which is the important part!

Posted by a parent on 7/23/2022They are TERRIBLE! My child came from a small preschool through kindergarten and unfortunately it doesn't go any further grade wise so we needed to transfer.

Posted by a community member on 9/8/2016Taft Elementary School. Full of bullies and teachers who do nothing. Staff members don't do anything as well. There's even lunch ladies flicking the back of the children's heads. What a joke. Two students do the same thing and one gets a sole penalty while the other has to be picked up. Ridiculous.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are kind, caring, and bring out the best in each child. They steward the Montessori philosophy in all the best ways and the children flourish as a result. We have seen immense academic, emotional, and social growth in our two children since they began at Joliet Montessori School. We are honored to be a part of such a wonderful school.Parent Review3y ago
