Fox Chase School

A few staff members are good. Very few. Likes to hide bullying cases and one staff member even said to “try not to fill out bully form and just speak with him.”

I have some good memories of ILS, such as field days at Burholme Park, field trips, Christmas pageants, and the friends and teachers I bonded with. The fact that I was harshly mistreated by my own teachers, the people I looked up to, is unacceptable, and the fact that the principal ignored or rejected my pleas for help is just evil. If you had a great experience at ILS, I’m really happy for you, but this school was practically a living hell for me. I’m so happy I left when I did in 2012 because the school I attended up to my senior year of high school after ILS was far better in all these aspects.

I graduated from Presentation 4 years ago. From my experience I could not ask for a better elementary school. I attended Presentation from Preschool through 8th grade. I was able to excel in high school because of how well I was prepared from the education I received from Presentation. It's a very diverse school and gives each student the opportunity to succeed. I'm in college now and looking back on my experience, I am grateful for everything I learned and from the unconditional support I received from my teachers. I always felt comfortable, safe and happy at this school. I would encourage any parent looking for a school to send them to Presentation.

Learning: What we learnt was pretty easy for all subjects from my experience.Teaching: It really depends on which teacher you have. They might be extremely strict or nice and fun.Mental health and well-being: This year they have anxiety and stress programs where it helps you, I think.Special education: There was ever only one kid with special needs in my grade, but he left. This one time, he was just crying, and the teacher didn't really do anything.Safety: The teachers will do things if you speak up about it, but no one ever really did anything to me.Family engagement: They have family bingo night, Teacher-parent conferences, and many other events.
