Amazing staff.They go above and beyond. Principal and teachers always engaged with students and parents. Response from them always fast. Reading, fitness programs get students, parents, and teachers involved

Lots of bullying going on but dont get me started on the students here. The students here need to learn how to respect most of them make fun of mine and others peoples insecurities or disabilities which is not okay. Most kids here are racist and arent taught any manners. Now onto the school food, i have thrown up many times because of the food here. The food here used to be good (imo) but now it is very disgusting to the fact kids here are getting sick. The teachers i have had have mostly been nice but most of them are TERRIBLE and scream at CHILDREN i saw a pre-k student getting yelled at by a teacher and the teacher was full on screaming at the top of her lungs while the student was crying. I DO NOT recommend this school because of the bullying and teachers.

This has been the best school I have ever transferred my children to. The time and dedication the staff is with our children is indescribable. Dr. Bernard is such a dedicated principal and is the definition ofServant Leadership in this school. She not only helps teachers provide excellent teaching strategies but also works with the parent to be more involved and helps with techniques for teaching ur child at home. The Stickney police department is highly involved and attentive to the children of only with traffic duty on the street but walk the hallways to help children feelSafe and assuring not only staff but parents as well that safety is nothing u need to worry about. This has been the most welcoming area not only with neighbors but parents at school as well.

Overall, this school has significant challenges due to student behavior. While the teachers try to provide a positive learning environment, many students act inappropriately, particularly some of the boys who make inappropriate jokes, behave immaturely around the girls, or even engage in bullying. This behavior makes the school uncomfortable and distracting, making it hard for other students to focus and feel safe. The school was better in the past, when students were more respectful and things felt calmer. Even with the staff’s efforts, the current student behavior has made the school less welcoming to new students.

We are new to the school this year and feel like it has been a dream school. The community/parents are so inclusive and welcoming. It doesn't feel like cliques rather one large family that really works well together. The teachers are phenomenal and invested in the kids succeeding. The leadership team take s a very team approach and truly listens and are supportive. I wish we found the school earlier, its a dream!
