School Reviews
| 5 I believe the quality of programs standards are set high and this year they are embracing individual talents. The numerous after school programs have something for every child some are paying and some not. The academic scores are off the charts. The School facility is small and in need of a total overhall. We are mobilizing as parents and taking this seriously it may take some time to get the space we need. In advocating for the facility space as a community member or parent will make this school one of the best in Chicago and those who are advocating for this work tirelessly for it. We as parents want the best for our children and they deserve the best. The parent involement is high and that reflects in the test scores. As a parent you cannot expect to have your child learn if you are not involved. Kuddos to our new principal who is very involved with each student and family she really cares for the kids an we are very happy to have her at Wildwood. - Posted by Parent - ricci |
