"I went to Agassiz in the 60's. graduated in 69. we live on kenmore. & there was many kids>167>who lived on seminary & kenmore.between diversey & lincoln.AGASSIZ had a mixture of races then. NOT only did AGASSIZ teach us what we needed to learn, WE taught the value of family & friends.! TO this day many of us are still in contact with each other. AGASSIZ has ALWAYS went beyond what is required. I EVEN HAD 4 of my kids go to AGASSIZ. WHO ARE NOW GROWN. AGASSIZ KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. AS YOU HAVE IN THE PAST."

"We are so grateful for Agassiz and the awesome staff. We had our 1st grader in a test into school, and found that the staff and Principle were very disorganized, unresponsive to our concerns and questions as a new family, and only focused on homework homework homework. In an afternoon, the staff at Agassiz returned our call, and our child is now set up in the lovely 1st/2nd grade classroom. Her needs will be met, I'm sure of it, and we know that this school honors and respects children and parents. So grateful."

"This is an excellent school. My daughter was in a first grade class of 17 children. The administration fights to keep the class size small. She has music and dance/drama one time per week and Arabic three times per week. She reads very well and has benefited from the creative writing program. I went to the science fair and listened to a 5 year old from kindergarten explaining his science project, and it was quite obvious he understood the concepts. Apparently, the kindergarten teacher there is fantastic. She has been in 2 shows. They work very hard on behavior and maintaining order, and it shows. The aides are great. Even the security guard is actively involved. They have a decent after-school program with lots of art classes. They have gym twice a week. There is an autism program & a good special ed program."
