Pirie Elementary Fine Arts & Academic C

Terrible wish I would never enrolled my child it’s been nothing but drama with the teachers the volunteers putting there hands on children’s

I went to Chicago public schools as a child but this by far is the worst school I’ve seen in Chicago my daughter cried and told me she wouldn’t be safe there to please not leave her and she’s in the fourth grade I rate John T Pirie as a school that needs to be closed

My son attended Pirie for 3rd grade and similar to the parent w/the kindergartner, I was pretty much turned away before hello. I did however keep my son there after admission but wish I hadn't. He's teacher appeared to be overwhelmed with students and was not pleased with my son's arrival. She always had an academic complaint about him and although my husband and I would meet and try our best to make things work, it was never good enough. At one point she put my son along with another child out the class and made them stand in the hallway but not for playing, fighting, talking etc but because they did not finish their math work in time. To make matters worse she didn't bother to give them the work to finish outside the class but just left them standing out there. I wouldn't say every teacher at Pirie is that way because many have proven to be good/great teachers however that particular teacher was a complete rotten apple and is still employed with Pirie.
