All the lower scores are from more than 10 years ago with a completely different principal and staff, so I thought it was time to write a more current review. My daughter just started 1st grade and this is her 1st experience with a CPS school - she was previously at a Montessori school from when she was an infant to pre-K. My wife and I are realizing more and more what a special school Everett STEM Academy is - it was designated as a STEM school in 2019, but the concentration on emotional and social growth really solidified in our minds what a great decision it was to enroll our child here. The teachers and staff know are really invested in the students...I witness during morning dropoff the school counselor, Ms. Wiley, say hi to each child by name and she asks each of them about specific things in their lives. The 1st grade teacher, Ms Salgado is encouraging of our child's successes as well as in tune with her challenges and needs. We get specific ideas on how we can continue school support for our child at home. The communication with the staff is EXCELLENT. They're very responsive to emails and input (our child is Filipino and Ms. Salgado and Ms. Wiley had some fun activities for the kids to learn about Filipino culture during Filipino Heritage month). I can't comment on the special education aspect of the school because I just don't know, but in all other aspects (learning, teaching, social-emotional support, safety, family engagement) we are so happy with Everett STEM Academy.

This is the worst school! I wish I didnt have to send my child here. The principal is the the worst, they need to let her go. The school has no leadership. The teachers are okay. They would be better if they had a better leader. Your better off homeschooling your child then sending them here.

Some of the teachers are okay others are not. The principal is not good. This school would be a better place without the principal.
