This is an awesome school in which my three children thrive! I have two children in middle school and one in elementary at Chicog. They all have attended since kindergarten. The teachers are excellent and really help motivate and encourage all students. I have one child that has always done well academically and one that has struggled. The teachers constant communication and encouragement has helped all three of my children succeed!

We are very active involved parents. At this school we were actually discouraged from getting involved. The first year we did a lot at the school and helped in many ways. Having a younger child we wanted to be there to help with activities and trips. We were actually asked not to be at the school except to drop our child off and pick her up. While we were involved in the school, we found that in the preK program, the teachers were not very observant of the children and we saw more than a few children wander into the hallways and out the doors. We actually went and retrieved one child after we noticed that the teachers did not miss him. The school has an "independence policy" which I think is great for older children, but not for the lower grades. Also the lower grade classrooms were very near exit doors, which could pose problems for some children.
Review Chicod. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
