"The teachers really care about giving these kids a great education. Also love the year round school schedule, it helps the kids retain important knowledge that they would have otherwise lost. This allows teachers more time to work on new material and less time on review."

"A very good school overall, with very strong teaching. However, in my opinion, the principal is a liability. I have to doubt her motivation. She lacks tact and communication abilities. My child just completed kindergarden, and he loves Argonne. On the last day of school, we bought him Argonne sweatshirt in the office, then went to talk to the principal about an issue. Out of the blue, the principal told me to take my child to a different school. My child -who is a really good student and was named a student of the week once during the year- was really upset hearing this. Lots of crying afterwards. Needless to say, we are puzzled and upset by this."

"Argonne overall has some great things going on for it. Many involved parents. Facilities are newer, great library. Kids act like kids, no inappropriate behavior / dress, and no cliques and definitely no gang influences. Kids are happy to be there each day. It feels like 1950's America, but more diverse. Academically, the school is really two schools. Teachers in K-3 are newer, coming in over last decade, and responsible for turning this school around. Some of the K-3's are among the best teachers in the city, including private schools. Teachers in 4-5 are uniformly mediocre - not bad but not stellar like the K-3's, burnt out, no love for the kids, no passion for the job, no inspiration. Luckily by 4th grade the kids are already on the right path, so overall they do pretty well."
