"School is overrated and overcrowded. This place is run less like a school and more like a factory. Teachers have too many kids to pay adequate attention to them and classes are overstuffed, so children are doing their work in the hallways. In the 3,4, and K class, too many 3-year-olds mean teachers spend much of their time getting the youngest ones dressed and out the door. Older kids get less teacher time. Parents are type-A and cliquish. In the younger grades, the classrooms get less and less diverse as minorities are pushed out by the children of middle class professionals living in the Lincoln Park area. Classes go from mostly African American in 6-8th to mostly Caucasian as the kids get younger -- the dividing line being the year the school began to develop a reputation."

"I have a son in Kindergarden and my daughter just started pre school at Oscar Mayer and I feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful school! The teachers are awsome and so caring. The office workers, lunchroom staff, principal ect... are the best, always smiles on their faces. It is such a positive place and I'm so happy my children start off their education in a positive way!"

"I have 3 children attending Mayer, I could make that 2 because my oldest just graduated 8th grade and I am so happy. Mayer has disappointed me in that I have one more child entering kindergarten and they put her on the waiting list #444 to be exact. They told me there is no chance that she can go there. Montessori program is nothing but a ploy to get those who live outside of the Lincoln Park area out of the school. The classes are over crowded, there are some GREAT teachers there but mainly you here nothing unless you are on the play lot every week and happen to catch the teacher walking by. The student are unruly and there seems to be no discipline. if you are thinking Mayer is a great even good school, take a look at there scores, you'll see differently."
