MH Moore Elementary School

In the 10 years we have had children at Northbrook we have had nothing but positive things to say. All of our children have or are currently attending Northbrook. Our first child is now a freshman, A student, a member of honor society, varsity band and is in all AP courses. Our second son is a fifth grader and following suit. He is also an A student and is in the gifted program (PACE). Our third son is in first grade and is at the top of his class following in the footsteps of his brothers. We have had such a positive experience through all of these years and our children are thriving academically because of the amazing faculty and staff at Northbrook. We would choose this school without a question over and over again. Don’t let the ratings fool you, this school has phenomenal teachers. Our boys are proof of the readiness for higher education that Northbrook provides. Bravo!

Won’t include details in fear of retaliation. My child attended here last school year (2023-2024). Our experience was really overwhelmingly bad. The bus was often broken down leaving kids stranded at school. They would call and say that I should have been at the school 20 minutes ago (how was I supposed to know?) they then threatened to call CPS on me because the bus broke down and they didn’t notify me to pick up my child. The principal was also extremely condescending towards me, asking me questions about my marriage whenever my child would be late (usually doctor’s appointments). I did not feel supported as a parent and I often felt like my child was targeted because he wasn’t receiving enough support at school. Even though we have IEPs and 504s in place. My child is also disabled, so he did have a special class he went to. This is in no way an attack on his teachers. They were amazing. This is a review about the office staff and primarily the principal. No one that unprofessional should be in charge of hundreds of students and staff members.

Los profesores son muy atentos con los padres y con los ni os, la directora es una excelente persona , el personal de la oficina es muy amable!!

Horrible toxic administration! Disrespectful students! Low morale zombie teachers. Never in a million years would I teach here, send my child there!!!

My friends son has been bullied by the same boys for a year and the school hasnt done anything about it. Its a crime to let a child feel unsafe at school and irresponsible of the school to sweep this under the rug.
