Goethe Elementary School

Very happy with our first two years at Goethe so far. Great community & friendly parents. They encourage Bucket Filling as a way to encourge good behavior & reward positive thinking.

I cannot day enough about our experience at Goethe. Our kids are thriving and happy to go to school. My son has perfect attendance! Also, the Goethe community of neighbors, teachers and parents is amazing. They are friendly, caring and fun too. It takes a village, and this is a good one.

Very involved community of parents, teachers, and fantastic principal. My daughter has been there 8 years, loves her school and is involved with student council, band and various clubs. Goethe has instilled a love for learning in her, and an appreciation for community involvement in me. Each time CPS pulls the rug out from Goethe with budget cuts, the army of parents and community members mobilize to fundraise and save the day, including covering salaries for teachers who would otherwise be laid off.

My daughter has been at Goethe since Kindergarten and she is now in 8th grade. She has enjoyed this school, loved the teachers, and the tireless principal, Ms. Kargas. The environment is enriching with a constant focus on positivity in school and fosters healthy relationships with students and teachers. My daughter has been challenged with some rigourous Advanced Math courses but knows it will pay off as she seeks a selective enrollment High School. Much love and appreciation to Goethe!
