GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We are parents with a child at this school from K-4th. Academics are great up to this point - far above avg for CPS. We have had good teachers. Teachers differentiate for kids of different abilities. There is great diversity and very few behavior issues. It is a small school without a lot of after school programs or resources. Great Math, Science and Computer Science classes in particular. Cannot comment on upper grades yet.

Don't believe the hype. If this is the best CPS has to offer, then the district is in a sad state. A parent who took their child out a couple of years ago told me not to go here because "this is where true learning comes to die". I didn't believe her then, but 2 yrs later I see it as a sad reality....

The Stem principal needs to take a step back and look at the toxic environment created when there is poor communication and a lack of transparency. The teachers are great, but they don't stay long enough due to poor leadership. As many people have stated, things start out well in the primary school...
