This has to be the WORST school in the waukegan school district!!! Some of the teachers are wonderful dont get me wrong, but the Principal is rude, disrespectful and has no business working with children. Its pretty sad when your child's teacher tells you that you should be worried about your child's education and they now suffer from anxiety from him not being able to learn from all the yelling and slamming doors the teacher does(mind you this is only second grade) because she can't handle her classroom. Thats why I pulled them from this school today!!! The entrance smells like pee, the kids are expected to eat lunch in 10 mins so they have time left for recess, and the sad part is this principle stands behind all wrong doing. Not to mention told my husband him being in uniform was a disgrace because he walked out of that building today standing up for his kids while the principal walked behind us screaming that we should be embarrassed of the way we stood up for our kids!!! I'm sorry but NO ONE will EVER DISRESPECT my children or make them feel any less wonderful or take the love of learning from them like this place did. I'm guessing that they are not used to that!!!
