Hawthorne Scholastic Academy

#Hawthorne 3 yr experience.
Parent’s, assumed I was the nanny when waiting for my child, My child by his kindergarten teacher was referred to as an ‘animal’, and «hell» continued from there on.
Hawthorne Academy has very few teachers /​staff that aren’t living in a bubble and will teach and treat every child equally. Principal and other admin /​faculty will be too busy with fund raising, picture taken, and presenting this school to be a place for everyone to care what is going on with the less represented population.
Bottomline.
Donate $ 10,000 you’ll likely have your voice heard & your own parking spot. Give the required you’ll need to either leave or conform.
A school where some «educators» & Staff are nestled in a quiet, small bubble, in both location and mind #Hawthorne is lacking the exposure needed to educate ALL students .
Careful what you allow to enter your child’s mind. Once it’s there, it’s difficult to find and erase. My child and I were poorly affected by Hawthorne Academy Chicago.
There are great schools, maybe this one is great for you, but for me, for my son. This school has created HELL, pain, and many nights of tears, and anxiety.
I don’t wish to give bias or share anything that will hinder another from a place that may be a great fit for you, so I’ve omitted a few experiences, but, I must be very very honest when I say, be very careful where you place your children. Don’t rely on rankings and smiling faces. Be present, listen, and advocate for your child no matter where you chose. Hawthorne Academy in Chicago Lakeview is just not the place I’d personally recommend.

i went to this school and i hope my son goes to this school. it rocked my brain off!
