"Cassell is great school. However, the overcrowding issue that continues yearly is not being addressed properly by the prinicpal or CPS. It is a shame that there are 43 children in the theird grade classroom in the first of their ISAT testing years. How can 1 teacher effectively meet the demands of all the children to ensure they are ready to take this very difficult and nerve racking test?????"

"Cassell was once an excellent school, but now it is just a good school. It has become extremely overcrowded in the past couple of years. Third grade has 42 students in the classroom and it is not the only grade with over 40 children in a classroom. The teachers at the school are very dedicated and competent. It is distracting for the students, however, to be in the classroom with so many other students."

"My niece loves the school because of the great teachers and the attention they give to the students. I love that it's a magnet school and the students are more academically challenged."

"Cassell School is wonderful! My daughter is graduating this year and she is so well prepared for high school! The 8th Grade Students love Mrs. Cohan & Ms. Scanlan and all they have done to make their 8th grade year wonderful!!!! They also have had a great learning experience from Mrs. Cloney, Mrs. Rodriguez, Mrs. Pienta and all of their enrichment teachers! I highly recommend Cassell School!"
