    "We chose Courtenay because of the small class sizes and high test scores, and we have not been disappointed. The teachers and administration are focused on ensuring that each child reaches their full potential. My kindergartener has gym class, music, and recess, and participates in monthly Literacy assemblies where students practice public speaking skills. Character development is emphasized as well, and there is an atmosphere of support and respect. A playground is being built this summer, technology is expanding, and Common Core curriculum standards are being adopted a year early to ensure that students are prepared in advance of the CPS wide shift. We are so pleased we chose to send our daughter to Courtenay!"

    "My Grandchildren started here this year. My Grandaughter is in sixth grade. I was so worried about her changing schools at this grade level, but it was an easy transition for her. There is a familiarity between the kids/staff that is very trusting and reassuring, especially to an overprotective Grandma. She is very happy here and that is important to me. My Grandson started pre school as well. I am hoping he will be able to continue here for the remainder of his elementary education. There are many activities that students can be involved in and I like that.I hope that our Alderman will bring some support to this school. I would love to see it in full bloom."

    "I attended this school for ten years all the way up to eighth grade. This school has the best staff I've ever met. The teachers really care about the students and make sure that they are performing at their full potential. When I first enrolled at this school I did not know one word of English, however the teachers all worked with me and before long I was exceeding in school with straight A's, top percentile scores on standardized tests, and attending science fair competitions for the area and city of Chicago. I now go to Northside prep, the top school in Illinois and the 24th best school in the nation. While all of my classmates are complaining about homework and how low their grades are I am accustomed to the work load and have learned through elementary school how to juggle sports, academics, as well as efficient time management skills. I am one of the only freshmen at my school who did not have trouble adapting to the expectations of high school life. It is thanks to all of the staff at Courtenay, that I continue to exceed in school. If you are looking for a small school where your child's education can be given the attention it needs don't think twice about Courtenay."

    "I transferred my daughter to Courtenay because of the school's excellent test results and its small size. I am very happy about this transfer. The small class size allows my daughter to learn a lot more in school. The teachers are excellent and passionate about their work. The math teacher offers extra help and teaches the students strategy and approach. I am very impressed by the Principal and the Assistant Principal. They greet every single child by name and show lots of affection and respect for the children. This is one big family and I am proud that my daughter is part of the Courtenay community. Great School!!"

    "My daughter started 1st grade this year and had come from a private school - I was worried that she'd get bored because she could read and write so well, but Courtenay has an "enriched" class for students who are advanced in reading and math. It is so wonderful to see her learning at her level, while the teacher is still able to focus on the students at the first grade level as well. All of the staff are friendly and focused on the school. The principal is wonderful and has addressed any concerns I've had immediately and with urgency. She also acts on the needs of the school and kids. They will be getting a playground next year, they offer PE twice or three times a week, technology. I am looking forward to see what's in addition next year with the longer school day. I am so happy we were able to attend this school. We enjoy the small tight-knit community that has the feel of a private school."
