"Our 3yro daughter had her first day at Drummond today. We have experienced several different school climates within CPS and Drummond's school community far exceeds them all. When she wouldn't nap today even the principal took some time to come in and sit with her. As a parent, that speaks volumes to me about his interest into the well-being of my child. Her teacher was so gentle and kind, yet honest in communicating what I imagine was a fairly tiring and challenging situation. We are so thrilled to be a part of this new community!"

"Drummond Montessori is the first public Montessori in Chicago. The teachers and admin are great. The school is small for CPs it's a great community. The students range from 3 yrs. To 8th grade. The big kids are really sweet with and great takers of the little kids. We feel lucky to have gotten in and are thrilled that younger siblings can enroll."

"Excellent overall school. Could not ask for better from a public school. My son has always been in Montessori, but came from private, so moving to public there was a change, but it was a easy move. Everyone has been great. Only thing I would change is more after school programs (sports, etc.), but if that is my only complaint that is not bad!!"

"This school is the best school you can find. My daughter has attended other schools before this one but this one is by far the best. The school is small, which helps children feel comfortable. The students are great! All the students know each other even when they are in diffrent grades. I walked in to Drummond one day and see a teenage student saying hello and starting conversation with a pre-schooler! You don`t see THAT in other schools. If you are planning to enroll your child this school do so. This school has a loving,caring,and safe atmosphere that you and your child will love. This school also has tutoring after school and teachers are more than willing to help your child if they are struggling with school and this school has NO bulling."

"This school is horrible! The programs are not satisfying at all. My son is 9 years old and just after 3 months of attending this 'great school' he started cursing and having negative thoughts about school and education. My advice to any parents considering enrolling their child at Drummond school, DO NOT DO IT."
