They only act like they care and supervise when someone calls them out for it. Otherwise, the hall monitors have no human respect and if you're really lucky they might go into the bathroom with your children and instead of just making sure it's clean like their supposed to, they stand there and look into your closed stall! so be careful if u doom your children to go to school here because you are sending them into a building with predators, adults that act like they're in preschool, and teachers and staff that have zero respect for anybody and the most they teach is that you just have to "try harder" Fremd used to be a good school, maybe ten years ago, but nobody there cares about the students and their well-being . don't send your kids here!

Went here for high school and I am grateful for all the wonderful opportunities and education I…read morereceived here. Many years later, I still remember many of the lessons my teachers had taught me in math, science, choir, drivers ed, and other subjects. They were always a little tough on grading and pushed a bit harder for critical thinking and understanding rather than memorizing a subject. This came in use for college when many tests consisted of short answer and essay questions instead of simply reciting memorized facts. One of the best parts of going to school here was the robust activities program. From chess to newspaper to choir, there were always plenty of opportunities to enrich ones learning before, during, and after the school day. This was an invaluable way to learn new skills and make new friends while learning from highly qualified mentors.

New Connections - Palatine (Parent of a Currently Enrolled Student)…read moreMy child has been enrolled at NCA Palatine since 2020, and the school has truly been a game changer. Before coming to NCA, my child attended two of the top public school SPED programs in the area -- from push-in to pull-out services, and even self-contained classrooms. Unfortunately, not all students can thrive in their home school environment due to challenges like integration with the general education population, the level of support needed, and the availability of specialized staff. After doing extensive research on outplacement options, I chose NCA Palatine. Like any major transition, the adjustment took time. I questioned myself, the district, and even the NCA staff on more than one occasion. But every time, I received reassurance, thoughtful feedback, and clear action steps that led to real, meaningful improvements. Success at this school truly depends on collaboration between all parties involved, and the staff here genuinely understands that. They actively seek family input and value parent perspectives. Class sizes are small -- typically no more than 10 students -- with one teacher and two program assistants. Beyond the classroom, there's a strong team of support professionals, including multiple therapists, behavior specialists (RIS), and an outstanding administrative team. Without a doubt, this school has had the most significant impact on my child's education and development. For the first time in our child's life, we've found a community that genuinely cares and is committed to making the world a better place for our kids

2018-2019 were the most traumatic years of my life at Lake Louise…read more In the second half of 3rd grade, 2018, I went to the school park to play. I got there through side streets. After Care was happening, and a staff member, Ms. Geeta, saw me, told me to stay put, then brought me inside. They assumed I'd walked from a far main road (even though my address was on file) and decided to involve CPS. I barely remember the details because I've blocked most of that out. 4th grade (2018-2019) was worse. Around December, I was running to class so I wouldn't be late, and instead of a simple reminder, they stuck me with a teacher's aide until 6th grade. I dealt with bullies constantly, the same kids I had to put up with in 3rd grade. One time at lunch, one of them poured milk on me. Multiple teachers were supervising and NOTHING was done. The office staff scared me so badly that I'd run when I saw them. I gaslit myself for years thinking I was "acting crazy," but the truth is they terrified me. When I'd run, the principal and staff would chase me. I remember hiding in the library, and when I came out, the principal pinned me to the ground. I got in trouble for "fighting back," and they called the cops on me. After that, they sent me to a behavior facility who evaluated me and said everything was fine. Another time, I ran from my IEP resource teacher and hid in a bathroom stall. She and other staff came into the bathroom and waited for me to come out. That invasion of privacy is DISTURBING. In Art class, I was sitting at my desk when someone I thought was a friend grabbed my wrists behind the chair. One of my bullies walked up with his fist balled like he was about to punch me. I yanked my arms free, grabbed my Chromebook, and hit him to protect myself. Students saw it, but the teacher didn't notice a thing. Then there was the daily backpack and pocket search. Every. Single. Day. Just because I was friends with someone who brought a Nerf gun to school. I had to hand over my backpack and pull all my pockets inside-out at the front desk. To top it off, the school lunch was disgusting and honestly unsafe. One day in morning detention, the staff brought me breakfast. I opened my vanilla milk and nothing came through the straw. I looked inside and it was CHUNKY. I poured it out in the nurse's sink, and it came out like slime. Expired milk I almost drank. There are so many more things I've forgotten because of how traumatic it was. I had to look back at an old Google review I wrote years ago just to remember some of it, and it shocks me every time. So DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. It's a terrible environment. The only thing I'm thankful for is that it made me strong. I don't let authority walk over me anymore. I don't stay quiet, and I don't accept disrespect. When I feel myself "talking back," it's because my brain still reacts to the unfairness I dealt with at Lake Louise. But I fight for myself now because back then, I only had me (and my parents) to rely on. Leaving that school made me tougher and unwilling to tolerate mistreatment from anyone and I genuinely hope anyone there now who's being treated like I was finds their way to the other side too.

The councils office is a mess where they are so disrespectful to students and when a student is depressed or needs help they puniSh the student. Most bullying cases that are reported a staff member will say "just get over it" "be the bigger person" or "maybe he/she Likes you." The WiFi never works so no student can do work so the kids grade drops even though it's not their fault. Food and drinks are overall too expensive and during lunch periods the school favors "smart" kids and closed off other places to eat even if all tables are filled in the cafeteria. Most staff is disrespectful to the students. Don't get me wrong some staff is nice but with all these strict policies it limits a students creativity. Dress code is too strict and targets girls and just because someone is on varsity they can get away with anything. I wish I would of transferred freshman year but I was stuck. But you just have to find the staff that actually cares and is actually nice even though it's hard they can help you

As a student, I can attest that I received a world class education. Beyond that, the athletics and extra-curricular activities that are offered there not only enhance the in-class experience but can give you opportunities that can be more valuable than what you learn in the classroom. As an employee and coach, I can tell you that the teachers and staff are some of the most caring and dedicated professionals that I have ever worked with. The school works hard everyday to live up to the high standards that they have set for themselves. There is a reason that John Hersey High School is consistently ranked as one of the best high schools in Illinois and the United States. I highly recommend John Hersey High School!

Our experience with this school was extremely disappointing…read more Our 9-year-old son was isolated and subjected to ongoing bullying by a group of boys. The situation was visible to teachers and staff, yet we as parents were never informed about what was happening. Instead of protecting a child who was clearly struggling, the school allowed the behavior to continue and left him to cope with it on his own. What is most concerning is that while our son suffered the consequences of this bullying, the students involved continued to receive recognition and rewards, with no visible accountability for their actions. A school's first responsibility is to provide a safe and supportive environment for its students. In our experience, this school failed to meet that responsibility.
