We moved to district 96 because we heard about good schools. Unfortunately, from grade 6th to 8th at Twin Grove I didn't have positive experience. I have 2 special need kids. My older one was bullied whole 6th grade and school after checking it didn't agree to it. My younger son was bullied by the same boy during a few months and school turned it my son's fault as he didn't complain right away as he couldn't when this boy stood on his feet every class and when my son pushed this boy of course everyone saw it... after talking with principal associate a few times and telling her it is bulling she said no... It took me months to protect my son from it. However it is not everything. Unfortunately, most of the teachers don't care about their students. They don't let parents know if a child didn't complete or should retake assignment. When you see it in many times it is too late as you see already the low score that doesn't show your child knowledge. I don't recommend this school for kids who might get bullied or need someone to help and support him. Teachers teach children as they in college, I mean if he wants he could take notes or not, but saying "if he would take notes he would remember it". No explanations to learn... Be ready to fight and support your child as school would do as minimum as they could!

A very high turn over in teachers not a healthy or professional environment. This school has slipped in education and engagement with the kids. Someone needs to look at the Principal and the click that bullys and runs the school. It is such a shame.

The staff is committed to the best interests of your kid. Teachers make education an interesting and motivating experience. My son is very happy, motivated, and interested in his own future.
