Palos West Elementary School

the district is very well run and the teachers from pre-k all the way through 5th grade were outstanding and caring and they work hard to be great teachers.

pretty neutral. not sure I would suggest moving to this district but at the same time I know it could be much worse.

My son is now in his second year at Palos West and has been performing very well. He has many opportunities to do work that challenges him. He also has support in the key areas where he needs extra help. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful and patient second grade teacher this year. She is highly qualified, compassionate, and I can really tell that she loves teaching.

Teachers are hit or miss. Our son is a special needs(vision) student and the school could not figure out how to use text enlargement devices to allow him to read. Whats worse, when taking MAP tests in first grade the teacher could not figure out how to enlarge the screen so simply told him to try and take the test anyway. Not happy with this district and if we are able to sell our home this spring will be out of here. I do not recommend moving into this school district.
