The community built around this little neighborhood school is what makes me stay in Skokie. Wonderful families attend this school! Close Quote

This is an excellent elementary school. The diverse population of the student body adds to the educational experience. These kids learn academics, but they also learn about the wider world at what can easily be described as an international school. Furthermore, every teacher we have encountered has been truly wonderful. All in all, a great school. The only reason I held back from a full five star rating is because the kids only get one recess, as opposed to two. Unfortunately, this standard follows a wide trend in education today. The teachers incorporate brain breaks and movement moments throughout the school day to make up for the lack of an additional recess. The school also offers regular p.e., music, and art. There is an after school day care and extracurricular classes. Close Quote
