"My children both attend Agassiz and we feel very lucky to have Agassiz as our neighborhood school. I have a lot of prior experience with CPS in my professional life, and Agassiz really stands out among CPS elementary schools. The teachers and families are great and the school has a warm, welcoming feel."

"At Agassiz Elementary, the staff, teachers, administrators and social workers are simply fantastic. This is such a wonderful school, and we are thrilled that we are able to be a part of its community. In addition to weekly drama, music and art classes, all of the students learn Arabic, take part in school musicals, and more. The parent groups are welcoming and resourceful, and parents are encouraged to volunteer in classrooms, too. We simply cannot say enough - we are thrilled that our child is at Agassiz, and are looking forward to what the next few years have in store."

"My children just finished their third year at this school and thus far, I am pleased with their progress. This year one of my children need some speech therapy and the school has a speech therapist on staff which was a wonderful in-house resource. Regarding the person concerned about the different academic performance between boys and girls, there is a lot of empirical data documenting that boys begin to lag behind girls academically as young as 4th grade. What this person witnessed in the higher achieving females is a wide-spread challenge that all educators and parents have to work against. While it is possible that the school treats children different based on gender, I won't pretend that does not happen, it's also a developmental pattern that must be addressed by everyone involved in the boys' lives."

"You can not go wrong with sending your children to this school. We send both our girls to the school and can not be happier with the quality of instruction, the fantastic teachers or the before and after programs. Mira Weber does a superb job at running the school in a way that is structured but doesn't feel overly coached. The teachers are the best. I would HIGHLY recommend sending your children to the school."
