What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 10, 2016

I feel like the academics are watered down. My child often has no homework to do. While I don't advocate tons of homework in elementary school, I often wonder how kids are going to be ready for more rigorous academics. Spelling is not a priority, so children are angry when parents correct their spelling claiming that "teacher doesn't correct my spelling, so it is ok." Bullying seems to be pretty common place. I approached one of the teachers about bullying and she brushed it off.

There are a lot of good extra programs. The school does seem to want to work with the special interests.

In general though, not what I expect out of a school in Arlington Heights. Close Quote
