Dore Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2009-03-18 “This school only worries about things that don't matter. Instead of worrying about the children and there education, they worry about things like, where your from, where you live, and what kind of background you have. If your a little less fortunate, they treat you like your a nobody.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-03-06 “I love this school, especially the Middle School Teachers, they have done wonders with my son!” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2007-01-12 “I'm a former student of dore and during my 8 years there i found that they push me over my the limit. Found my weak stop and help me with them. It was harder being one of three african american in the class but we all got a long great. The teacher there was great! they all had there master, and there ways of teaching was remarkable weather it was humor or game it mad me what ia today. There was some good stop team there, but just not what i was looking for. I was the vice president of the school student government 8th grade year and was on three 5yrs. Dore is all around a great school and was number 1 in the city the last 3 year i was there.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-01-09 “My daughter is currently enrolled at Dore and doing very well. They offer after school programs in reading and math which are invaluable to any student that is struggling in those areas. The Principal is very goal oriented and demands excellence from his teachers and students. Highly recommended!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-04-15 “This is the first year my children have attended a Chicago Public School and I'm very unhappy with the results. My daughter's spelling is atrocious, she's in 2nd grade and is not learning cursive handwriting, and my son is in first grade and complains that the work he does is way too easy for him. I will not be sending my children back to Dore. Everyone says it's such a great school but I don't see where. My kids have told me repeatedly how they don't like it. They'll be back in the Catholic school next year. I could go on and on about how dissatisfied I am with this school. I've never liked the Chicago Public Schools and Dore school gives me quite a few extra reason not to like them.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-04-07 “Dore School has always performed well on tests. I am not sure if it is the paper and pencil, direct teaching, teacher centered approach...or if it is because of the students that Dore receives. Page after page, ditto after ditto works for many students. But many students are being left behind. I would like to see a more differentiated approach to teaching. There has never been any cooperative learning, thematic units, engaged learning, or integration of any subject areas. I think Dore would excel if the Principal would step outside of the box and allow students to sit in groups and speak up a little during the day. Wouln't it be great if parents also felt welcome? I am not sure if there are outside partnerships. I wonder why? Parents are willing to help, but often are not welcome. Let's leave no child or parent behind!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-11-21 “Dore school is an excellent enviroment for children to learn in. My children as well as children of family and friends attend this school. Each child's growth is promoted. The teachers and staff are fantastic. Dore school really works together as a team to provide the very best to the students. Teachers, staff, and the principal follow a student's progress long after the student has moved on---This creates a caring positive enviroment for learning in. In a system often blamed for leaving children behind, Dore school never leaves a child behind. Every child is important. Over the last few years the music program has really grown and expanded. Childrean are playing recorders and a choir has formed. They are wonderful. There is afterschool tutoring for those in need. There is a Math team, basketball team, volleyball team, and many other wonderful endeavors. I applaud Dore School for their hard work.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-03-19 “Dore Elementary School has been a wonderful source of education for the four children in our family presently attending Dore. Dore school far exceeds other Chicago Public Schools. The scores are much higher and the children's behavior and attitudes reflect that they are progressing above others at their grade levels. Their actions are speaking as loud as their words. Although we have never needed the bilingual teaching, I have seen the results of Children that come to the school speaking little or no English. By the end of the school year, they are speaking English and learning. Other school should learn the Dore approach to teaching English. I am proud of Dore School and the fine education they are giving the Children. We are thankful that our Children are receiving an education preparing them for their future.”
