"Way to many non-english speaking children in that school. I thought this is America were the language is English!!!!! Washington Academy is regressing. My child is in 5th grade and learing the same math she learned in 4th grade. They have failed the AYP the last 2 or 3 years. I don't know how changing this school to a magnet school will help bring up the AYP. I believe this is how the district is getting more money by claiming it is a magnet school. This is no where near a magnet school!!! The only way to improve is to have english speaking children allowed in the school or make this school a HISPANIC ONLY SCHOOL."

"keep in mind the dates of these reviews. Now this school is an Academy. I don't know how it is now, but my child has to go there because its our district. I don't like the hours, but I still dont know if I like the school."

"I sent my sons to the At Risk program at Washington. I felt lucky to get them in. Classes were well run; caring teachers; and I knew the director from elsewhere. However, the building is run down, the population largely non English speaking, and it is one of the largest elementary schools in the state -- you are a number only to the office and bus driver, etc."

"I personally believe that Washington Elementary School is one of the best schools a child can attend in northern Illinois. Besides the issues of traffic and population, this school is excellent. I had 2 daughters who attended this school, one completed kindergarten through 5th grade and the other started at pre-school and ended in kindergarten. The reason for this was because we had moved, so my youngest daughter had to transfer within the district. Let me just say that Washington had awesome teacher support. Every teacher my kids had strived for parent support, which made my children, along with others, prosper. Because of this school, my kids are now exceptionally talented."
