Linne has a great community of engaged families and teachers. They offer effective dual language programs and well rounded arts in addition to academics.

I'm a parent of 2 children who attend Linne (3rd & Kindergarten). Linne is an excellent school with a supportive and engaged community. They offer a lot of wonderful programs, such as visual & performing arts, competitive sports, culinary, violin, after school clubs, and more. We've been very pleased with the dual program, as well as with all teachers and administration.

Excellent school, dedicated teachers, wonderful offerings not often seen at public school such as arts classes, tech classes, culinary, etc.

We've been with Linne for two years and couldn't be happier. Some of the other schools we toured were overly focused on testing and rigorous academic performance, including hours of homework at even the Kindergarten level. For our family, we wanted a school where academics was important but also balanced by fine arts and personal development. A culinary program, martial arts, ballet from the famed Joffrey, a jazz band, and a dual language program are just a few of the offerings at Linne. Most importantly, I find the entire staff to be warm, friendly and dedicated educators. I'm glad we made the choice to stay with a neighborhood school instead of travel to one of the "selective enrollment" schools that are further away and more crowded.

I have a preschooler at Linne School and am so impressed with the quality of instruction and nurture his teacher has provided. The building has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere with a positive attitude coming from staff and students! We will soon have both of our boys attending Linne and are eager to see them grow culturally, creatively, and academically in this school. It truly is a gem within the community.

I hate this school horrible. Everything is so out of control kids need walk around with all their things in the bags due to other kids not keeping their hands to their self.there aren't any lockers. Some of these are so out of tune with life the teachers don't care .I have kids here and I have heard teachers act like the world doesn't matter if these kids don't learn as they say "we are not babysitters" really

Linne is a wonderful and awesome school. I have two children that in my opinion are receiving a challenging and well balanced education. This is truly the hidden gem of the Chicago Public Schools. My son has violin, culinary, and a number of opportunities to get involved in the fine arts. My daughter has learned so much not just about academics but about nutrition and health. She is enrolled in the 55 alive program led by former Bear Otis Wilson and participates in exercise, sports, martial arts, and dance. This happens every single day after-school from 3 to 6 p.m. and it's all FREE. This year the school gave away FREE backpacks, schools supplies, and for halloween all the kids who attended the school's Fall Fest received a huge FREE pumpkin. The teachers are friendly and very involved. The Principal and Vice-Principal are very responsive are really doing an outstanding job! When you consider what other schools offer, you are getting a bargain by attending this public school that behaves more like a $20,000 a year private school. I highly recommend it.

Linne is a school on the move, students get a great education as well as the taste of the arts, students at Linne get to experience tap, jazz dance violin, guitar, photography, ballet as well as culinary. In the year 2014-2015 Linne students at Linne will experience and learn the ins and outs of bring a Mariachis band. Linne students are taught by deadacated, highly educated and teachers willing to go the extra mile for all it's students. The wellness committee earned a gold medal for the school for its decation to the students health and wellness. We invite you to come visit with us.

I love Linne school and I am one of their biggest advocates. As a former student and a parent of two children that attended Linne I can t express how grateful I am to the principal, teachers and support staff for giving my children an excellent education. The teachers are amazing, committed, easily accessible and available to answer questions and the school strongly encourages parent involvement. Both of my children have received an excellent education and I would recommend this school to everyone.

This school in my opinion, is probably becoming more worse by the second. Last year teachers with high expectations got fired because low scores. Not because of how they taught but the opinions of the principal and lack of effort from children. Now all that I see is disgusting food, dirty floors, and fights. The staff start to change attitudes when parents are around(children tell me.) Parents should be more alert with schools like these. Linne has got to step it up, there are better schools in the city! They may have added programs but the teachers are the main reason children have lack of effort! Last thing is my child always comes in with so much to do whether test study, tons on homework or projects! I would like to have a break and talk to my child NOT about school but life. This school sucks the kids life out. Linne use to be a grand school when my last children went here.

As a prior parent and community member, Linne has a lot of programs that weren't available when my children went here now they offer programs for the parents, students and community. Linne is a great neighborhood school something most parents are look for. The teachers and staff at Linne strive to making sure the students are held to the highest standards. CPS should use Linne as a model for all neighborhood schools.

Lots has changed since the Mr. Giglio days! Some of these comments are from 2005! Come inside while kids are inside and see for yourself how the 'good 'ol days' are gone but never forgotten!

I believe Linne is the best elementary school I have worked in! Most of the teachers are hard working, caring, and respectful. May the new principal, whomever it may be, treat all teachers equally and follow protocol whenever incidences do arise.
