Haven Middle School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-10-01 “This is my daughter's first year at Haven and she loves it. I, on the other hand, am not impressed. I feel the teachers are afraid to step in and control the students. The students who are well-behaved and do the work are looked over. I have already had to contact a teacher about questions. I think the it is fortunate for us our daughter is interested in utting in the effort to learn. We have to put in a lot of time to encourage her. The school does nothing. Even she has said that she doesn't feel like she is challenged. I am sorry we enrolled her here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-12-10 “There is a great music program at Haven, sports, and arts. Most importantly, we need to teach our kids what it means to be responsible students, that it is ok to go to study hall after school or find time with their teacher to ask for the help they need, because there are some very good ones at Haven willing give an extra hand.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-02-13 “I dont like Haven at all. My childreen went there and they said that hey hated it. I dont think you should recamend this school to anybody. It is bad and you shouldnt go there.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2007-02-02 “I went to Haven back in the mid 70's and turned out awesome because of the teaching staff and principal!They were extremely awesome then, especially the then principal Lorraine Morton. I owe alot to the staff there for teaching and guiding me the way they did and what they did! I'm very proud to say I went to school there!” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-07-27 “I think there is a divide between what the parents think of Haven and what the students/former students think. I had an exceptional experience at Haven. There were a few principle changes in the past, but Mr. Michelin, the current principle has been teaching for over 25 years and has been with Haven as the Asst. Principle for about 10 years or so. He is retiring this year and a long time teacher there will be the new principal. All of the same teachers that were employed when I was there 8 years ago, are still there. There are a myriad of extracurriculars for students to become involved in and the level of education and ultimate achievement is excellent. I, like many of my former Haven counterparts have gone on to be complete successes. I am a graduate of Northwestern University, and Haven has helped make me who I am today!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-10-04 “Of Evanston's 3 middle schools, Haven has struggled the most. Staff turnover, inconsistent leadership. Now a solid asst princ. w/ teaching bkgrnd and strong understanding of curriculum, teaching needs, learning styles. Building wide emphasis on vocabulary, cross-discipline learning. Good math instruction at 6th gr level. 6th/7th gr Eng/L.A. is good. 8th gr was so-so and not such a good preparation for the rigors of the high school, but improvements are being made. Very diverse population; you will get behavioral issues in every class because they have to spread out the pain. Extra curricular offerings abysmal. Parent involvement aver-good.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2005-09-19 “As an alumnus, I can honestly say that Haven is a good school. Those who are giving bad reviews don't know the whole story. There have been quite a few principles in the past 10 years, I think 3 or 4, including the current principle Mr. Michelin. He has been with Haven School for a very long time at least 15 years as the Assistant principle and he basically ran the school the whole time, so now that he is the principle he is doing a great job and the position he has now, was well warranted. The teachers are good and the school is very diverse and includes many extracurricular activities and clubs for students to participate in. I was very happy with the education that I received at Haven and I believe that it did a great job in helping prepare me for high school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-08-09 “There is much to say about this school. We had such a difficult time with the quality of teachers. There are a few good ones who really care about the students education. However, few is not many. It seems as though everyone on staff, from the principal to the teachers, are all overwhelmed by the students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2004-06-02 “As a new parent I have great concerns about this school. It is very unstable - 5 or 6 principals in the last 12 years (I think I heard). Many teachers need to be released because they do not put the needs of 'all' students first. Children of color have an especially hard time because of the lack of diversity sensitivity of the staff. The prinicipal (although new) can be inflexible - which of course is not a good thing. The new asst principal is a former 7th grade teacher (at Haven), which concerns parents wondering if she will be able to hold teachers accountable for their misdoings and put the needs of students first over her relationship with former peers (and thoughts) as a teacher.”
