Hawthorn Elementary School South

I am not white and moved to VH from a low income neighborhood in Chicago. I'm not even sure why race has anything to do with any of these questions, but the previous commentator seems to want to make it seem like it's an evil white school. I'll tell you, it's not. This school is excellent and coming from a home where my father was an elementary school teacher at CPS I feel as though this school is not only extremely supportive and caring for it's students but goes above and beyond to ensure it's students are treated with respect and taught to be considerate and respectful. I also believe that's it's not the schools responsibility to teach character, it's the parents responsibility. Unfortunately some parents think it's the schools responsibility to raise their child. It's sad. Be a parent and raise your kids.

Can't wait to move out of vernon hills to be away from this joke of a school. If you are white and have money, then Im sure your child will do great!

Excellent ! My daughter loves it! Extra help when needed !

My three children were new students this year. They love their school so much they don't want to miss a day even when they are ill. The teachers are dedicated and the PTO is phenomenal! We are so happy we moved here!
