Homework: They do give more homework than I’ve heard other schools give, however, throughout my years attending this school they have been decreasing the load as per parent complaints. I experienced a lot of stress with the homework load 4-8 grade, but time management and self advocacy were highly valued, along with student emotional/mental well-being, so I always received any adjustments I needed through compromise or simple communication. The content of the homework was really good. It wasn’t just worksheets and busywork, but creative projects and assignments that were very stimulating and dived deeper into the subject. Every assignment was to learn and understand, not just to have something to grade. For parents of future or current students of this school: when homework gets overwhelming, encourage your child to talk to their teacher about it or use it as an opportunity to teach productivity or time management. These are things the school heavily focused on, but it still took time for us to grasp the concept of being responsible our academic careers.Teachers: The teachers are excellent and very caring. They teach their classes well and are always open to providing extra help with any challenges a student may have. Both academically and emotionally, these teachers are very supportive. Not every teacher and student can click, so if your child is unable to make a connection with one teacher, they are exposed to many other adults in the building that they can seek for help.Leadership and Character: Teachers and staff exhibit leadership and teach it to students. LP is very community-centric, so having and making leaders is critical. I left this school understanding that the main quality of a leader was not to attract followers, but to create more leaders. LP builds strong character in students by providing opportunities for self discovery and lots of role models in the community. They teach kindness, courage, and self-sufficiency.Learning Differences: Accommodations are always made for disadvantaged students. Students with learning differences always had teachers with them and were involved in classes, but students who just fell behind in class did not receive as much attention as they should have. Bullying: I didnt experience much first-hand, but I wont ignore that it was present in this school as much as any other school. Teachers take care of it when it’s reported and we have anti-bullying assemblies to combat it.

This is great. They have opportunity for kids to be Individual learners through PDT, clubs, exploratory And neighborhood. The school hosts a big event every year that brings the whole community together. Teachers are always trying to build relationships with students to make better connections. Staff is always reflecting on current practices such as Innovation and homework to make sure they are up to date with current beat practices.

I would give this school a 1/10 the teachers are lazy and do not do anything. And the principal does not know what she’s doing I think they should fire Amanda Stochl. Today I am reporting her to SD 54 got her terrible job.

The teachers have no passion, the principal doesn’t know how to do her job, 95% of all work is pointless, and overall all this school cares about is good scores to show off. They don’t care about students’ feelings or actual issues at all. When they do address it, they handle it horribly. From 4th-8th grade all classes were like high school AP classes. This school gives students way too much stress and churns out nothing but b trouble-making kids. The only good things about this school are the secretaries Mrs. Falvo and Mrs. Pantone. Avoid this school at all costs unless you want years of stress and frustration. I am now in high school and I get LESS homework than at this school. Repeat: AVOID THIS SCHOOL.

Lincoln Prairie prepares kids for the future ahead, and makes them the best students they can be through experiences in and outside the classroom. It's great!

This is one of the better schools at Schaumburg School District 54 BUT the district as a whole employs a very condescending attitude. Most people will tell you they love the services, feel welcome, etc. but the staff speaks down to parents, does not compramise, and bases its decisions (calendar, hours, supply lists, events) all around the teachers. If you are the type of teacher that asks "what's in it for me" than sd54 is for you!!!
