Your front desk receptionist is rude! I know there is a few up there. We'll, the one I had today was rude and interrupted me while I was speaking. All I know, if you work at a school you need to be professional . If you don't like what you do get a different profession. I had to stay calm today because I had my sick child looking at me while I spoke to this rude lady. Maybe, you guys need to look into who you guys have working there. Sometimes people get to comfortable that they don't realize they are bring rude. This was to early in the morning for this to happen! Smh!

The teachers work hard to help their students here and do a good job. Too many people think that putting their kids in private schools help them but this will keep them from reality. Public schools draw students from all walks of life.

We're lucky that we were able to pulled our kids out of this school and placed them into private. The teachers really try but with the lack of resources and over-crowding it's an uphill battle. The classes are mixed where advance kids are placed with slower children. It is a disservice to the advance kids. Here's a great example of the difference between Hall and my kids' current school... We were having breakfast yesterday and my youngest mentioned a subject he was learning. My oldest exclaimed "We didn't get to it until 4th grade!". I think that gives an idea of what it's like...

Hall Elementary is among another of the many disappointments within District 129. The teachers are greedily preoccupied with their salaries exuding superficial concern for their students without getting down to the nitty gritty of making breakthroughs for the students to succeed in any given subject. Sadly, accountability is virtually non-existent because of the superintendent. It's exhausting trying to talk sense into the principal who, far too many times, sympathizes with the bully. The appearance of many of the teachers is inappropriate -- bearing tattooes, gym clothes, and sloppiness. As long as this continues, the school will remain a failing educational institution per the State of Illinois.
