Kozminski Elementary Community Academy

Kozminski isn't a bad school people just don't give it a chance the teachers actually care about their students and want them to try their best. From what I know teachers are preparing their students for high school already. The school has low funding so it's not at its best but their students and teachers are.

This school is horrible. They lack discipline in this school. State test scores are not up to standard. I have three children who goes here. I am pulling them out of this school because of lack of discipline. My child gets bullied and the principal does nothing about it to where I had to call the board of education. Kids fighting all the time.1st graders bringing knives to school and the principal didn't even let the parents know. Our children had to tell us. You have second graders jumping on desk and pulling out his private part in the classroom. They don't send the teacher no help. My child gets stabbed with a pencil the principal does nothing about it. When my child defended his self and hit the boy back he got in trouble not the boy. This school is the worst. I will be paying for my kids to go to school. Public schools in Chicago is horrible. The principal kids don't even go to this school. Its just that bad. They should have closed down this school . I will be definitely emailing the state about this school.

THIS SCHOOL IS IMPROVING TREMENDIOUSLY. MY DAUGHTER IS IN PRE-K . I ADORE THE TEAHCER, AND THE TWO TEACHER ASSISTANTS. THEY DO THERE JOB VERY WELL . I HOME SCHOOL MY DAUGHTER ALOT, AND WITH HER IN THE PRE -K CLASS, IT HAS BEEN A BIG HELP. SHE IS VERY SMART, LEARNING MANY THINGS IN PRE-K. FROM PLEASE AND THANK YOU, TO SIGN LANGUAGE, TO COMPUTER SKILLS. WE DON'T NEED TO BLAME THE SCHOOLS SOLEY. WE NEED TO TAKE CHARGE IN OUR OWN CHILDRENS LIVES, AND HELP MUCH AS POSSIBLE RATHER BE AT HOMW WITH YOUR CHILD OR AT THE SCHOOL.

I graduated from Kozminski and now my son is at Kozminski. Yes, there are frustrating things about Kozminski, but now that the administration has pretty much changed completely, I think that there is a much greater focus on the success of the children. Unfortunately CPS plays a major rold in what the children are learning, and when, so it may seem as though the teachers are not doing their jobs, but they are only doing what CPS is making them do. I always see returned work, and my son's teacher sends home all incomplete assignments so he can finish them. My son is not the fastest in development, and every one of his teachers works with him to help him improve. He went from making Cs and Ds to making As and Bs. No school is 100% perfect, but I'm happy with my son's progress, and that's what counts.
