Research Perspectives Charter School charter Schools in Chicago, Illinois

“Having been involved with this school for 3 years; I can say that a school once raved about has declined immensely. The principal and administration are never visable, do not know the students, and show little concern for improvement. In summary: The school has become disorganized with no leadership or direction.”

“I would definetely agree that Perspectives' is an excellent school. As mentioned before, it provides a safe, intimate learning environment. Prepares it students for the real world both academically and socially. Secondly, replications have already been made and the math and science academy with parnership with IIT will open in the fall. Honors and AP classes are actually offered. Students are also exposed to field studies, communnity servicec, internships, etc. Perspectives is one of a kind and I wuld highly recommnd you to send your child.”

“Perspectives is an excellent school, which provides students with a variety of expectations in life. There is a healthy life i.e there food is great for the students with non of the saturated fat, sugars, etc. The Discipline Life is awsome it teaches children about the reality of the world (Especially living in a world like today), teachers and staff are very involved with the educational, safety, and concerns of the students. If you want a school that has all of these qualities then you nned to attend Perspectoves.”

“Perspectives is an 'okay' school. It's not great though. There isn't much eualness amoung ethnicities. They also don't have an auditorium or a gym. Though, they do have good Healthy food made by chefs and great teachers. If your child has trouble with school that will probably be a good place to send them, but if your child is a fairly well student, then you should look for a different school. There rules can be strict and the students really dont do any 'fun' thingsI am a student there and I really dont look forward to going to school in the morning, and You Should Look Forward To Going To School. They're trying the best they can but I wouldn't suggest this school to you. Honestly.”

“I wouldn't recommend you to go to this school because... The lockers are too small. The hallways are too crowded. No gym or auditorium. And Doesn't have all the classes I need. If you are looking for a big school with facilities and resources go somewhere else.”

“This is a great school. The teachers at this school care a lot about their students. The learning environment is safe and small, which makes it more intimate and students learn better this way. It is a very nice and clean place. Its after school programs are great. The only issue I have with this school is that it doesn't offer honors or AP classes, which is a disadvantage to to the more advanced students. Other than that, everything seems okay.”

“This is a great school. It has an intimate, small learning environment which makes it easier for teachers and staff to know the students better. A Disciplined Life is very useful for building a positive attitude that can help for life. The classes are challenginng. The teachers are caring. It is a very nice clean school and community. The after school programs are great. The only issue I have is that this school doesn't offer honors and AP classes, which is a disadvantage for intellectual students. But, other than that I think it is a great school.”

“I am very pleased with the overall curriculum of the Persepctives Charter School. I belive that living ' A Disciplined Life' will help the children in the long run, because in reality you must have discipline. Communication between the myself and staff has been outstanding. I have found that the staff of the school is and have shown to be very caring and the small class sizes make for a better learing environment. The extracirrular activitives are like none at any other school. This is an awesome choice of you are looking for a school.”

“Perspectives is a wonderful place in theory. However, in practice, often times core academics is brushed aside for 'A Disciplined Life', which is nice, but takes away from the classes students need to succeed in college. It is plain to see there needs to be a stronger focus on regular academics. In my opinion, this school is a sinking ship and don't be fooled by the pretty outside appearance.”
