Shabbona Middle School

Very good school very nice students very great building

This school is a joke. If your child has adhd or any other disability they have no idea how to handle it and they label them a problem child. If you speak up they threaten you demean your child and you and they place all the blame on you. We are not the only family they have done this to. Both of our children have adhd and they aren't doing anything to help them. By law if a child has a learning/social disability they are entitled to a 504 plan. When we asked about this they offer up a points system for them behaving well or badly and totally ignor your request for a 504 plan. They say that have your children's best interest at heart but their actions say a totally different story. If you want your child to feel depressed, to feel like they are worthless, to feel like the whole staff is against them, then this is the perfect school for you. If you want your children to be happy, to learn, to feel a sense of belonging then you better buy a house in the Saratoga school district. If you want your child/children to grow academically and socially this is definitely not the school for your family.

All three of my children have attended ICS and love it. As a parent I am very happy with the fact that my children are expected to be respectful and polite in addition to being good students. The principal is terrific as are the teachers. They truly love the students and love their jobs!
