"We were at this school for 2 years and overall it was a very disappointing experience. The school is VERY focused on teaching to the test to the elimination of almost everything else. Fortunately the parents are very active in providing enrichment activities as after school program. My child was not challenged and I was told that if my child is ahead he will have to wait for the other kids to catch up because they do not have the resources to teach children that were beyond the required curriculum. The principle (new for the 2010 school year) has been rude and often sarcastic during discussions. I believe that some of the teachers do a good job of challenging all children, but I know it is difficult with the large classroom sizes found in U46 and the huge ability range that is found in the classroom. Also, the teachers repeatedly complained to us about problems my child was having in certain areas, like motor skills, but the school refused to test him or provide services because he was not failing academically. After 2 years of fighting the school and getting nowhere, we ended up getting testing and physical therapy done on our own."

"I have two children in this school and third one entering in 2010. We have always had very responsive teachers who have worked to challenge my children in their learning. The school has an active parent board that organizes evening events which are always a huge success."

"It's an excellent and wonderful school. It gives the children so much potential to thrive and grow. It's a wonderful environment, the teachers are personable and works one on one with such outstanding merit and partnership. It's a great place for a child!"

"The front office and principal at this school have no respect for parents. They are rude and treat parents like they too busy."

"While our school district as a whole is struggling in many ways, Bartlett Elementary is one of it's stars. My experience over the last few years has been very positive, with teachers dedicated to student success, and terrific parental involvement both during classes (running fundraising events and substitute teaching) to running after-school programs like Science, Spanish, Computer lab and Chess. It's not a perfect school, but we've taken what the District has given us and worked to improve it."
