My son has been a student at Marquette for 2 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about the school! The teachers truly care about the students and what’s best for them. Admin is very supportive as well!

My son is in a blended PreK classroom and I have nothing but good things to say about his teachers and the staff at Marquette. They have new leadership this year and it feels great being part of their community. The principal and assistant principal are always trying to communicate and connect with parents. Overall I am very pleased so far.

This school ha s improved since it became AUSL, but it is still horrible. The teachers, Deans and Principles are trying to over compensate for the prior grade of the school, and have unrealistic ideals. Yes, they are trying to implement programs and teach in a new fashion, but the rate at which they expect a turnaround is ridiculous. Not to metion, teach erstwhile do n of a knowledge the children and their is a constant issue with the cafeteria and children becoming ill.

One of Chicago's worst schools and nobody cares. Whenever I go to that school as a substitute teacher, the principal is not around. She is always in her office and everything is left to the assistant principal and the other office staff.

I graduated from this school i was in the IB program and the teachers were great some of which i had were mrs.g mrs.williams and mrs.sweiss they helped me a lot some of the best teachers ive had! my brothers still continue to go to this school and ive have seen a great fall from when i went there it seems like some of the teachers dont care enough while others are simply okay. They need better security, there is always something going on like a fight or some kid getting in trouble because he brought something to school that he want suppose to.

Best school in Chicago ! My siblings and I attended Marquette West from preschool to 8th grade. We had the best learning experience you could ever get. I had Mrs. G and Mrs. O'Malley when I was in the IB program and with their help I was very prepared for highschool. The teachers really care about students and they want to help them succeed.
