"I had posted a review several months ago regarding the great things about RC. However, I feel the need to address that there is a "texting epidemic" between various teachers at this school. The music teacher spends quite a large amount of time texting on her cellphone, which is hardly a good use of taxpayer dollars (her salary exceeds 100,000 per year.) Administration needs to address this problem. If taxpayers are footing enormous salaries, it is inexcusable for teachers to be using cell phones during class time. Employees can't get away with this in the real world; why should it be different for teachers?"

"My wife and I love Robert Crown Elementary school. We really liked our daughter's previous elementary school in Grayslake, where she attended K through 2, but then we had nothing else to compare that school to until know, because she is our first to attend school. The teachers at our old school were phenomenal, but the total education experience at Robert Crown is head and shoulders above our previous elementary school. We stopped in at the school this summer and were greeted most enthusiastically by the Principal, himself (who is retiring this year--we congratulate him!) From Math to PE to Art to Music to Recess, my daughter is ecstatic with the school and I am ecstatic with her math progress. At my daughter's previous school they were not allowed to touch the snow at recess--at RC they go sledding at recess--wow, we went from hyper-retentive school to "cool old school." Now, to many parents this may not be a significant point, to me it illustrates how much better the vibe can be from one elementary school to another. Many little things make a big thing and there are so many little things that make a difference for us at Robert Crown. We are giving two thumbs up :-) to RC!"

"Overcrowded. My child has 29 or 30 children in his class. One teacher cannot manage to teach and attend to a class this size, particularly with a high percentage of ESL students in this class. And yet, intradistrict or out of district moves are not permitted. Other schools in district are NOT as crowded and average 22 per class."

"My children used to attend this school. Not only was this school unable to properly teach my children, but a majority of the teachers and administrators weren't interested in working as hard as the students worked. School was advesarial towards parents that questioned their abilities and pointed out their shortcomings. School was sooo poor, sold my home in a down market just to get out!!!!"
