young energetic faculty. seemingly good at their jobs with seemingly good ideas about the new principles of education. all students have or will have the newest apple lap top with 13 inch monitors or an ipad. the technology allows students to access their homework and all lesson plans and school projects. the principal is a decent leader. the parent involvement is limited because the school is in a low-income area. the building is old.

Carol Stream Elementary School is a cut above the rest. The teachers convinced the school to let the children work with Mac's, which gives our children top notch learning, keeps them motivated to learn and saves on paper and books. I am so impressed with the skills my 9 year old daughter is learning. Thanks for the great work Carol Stream Elementary School!

Carol Stream Elementary opted to use pavers that are ecologically sympathetic to neighbors down hill. These pavers allow rain waters to be absorbed directly into the ground easily . Our school is at the highest point in all of Carol Stream area... but at the same time tthe landscape around the immediate area is like a basin and happens to be the lowest spot in Carol Stream... deeming it a flood zone. Those tax dollars are spent well trust me... everyone within a mile radius is glad for that hill taking on it's own water load. Great Job Carol Stream Elementary working for your community.

School is great in every way, however, I am very disappointed in the way they handles something. Last spring, the school asked father in the area to help assemble a new playground and install it because they did not have the money for it. Then they needed a new parking lot. They could have got a nicely paved parking lot, but decided to spend 6 times the amount of money on a brick paver parking lot. Just another example of how our high taxes are being miss-spent. Big disappointment to me.
