Great school. They really try to reach all learners not just the high ones and not just your special ed population. All students are constantly monitored and help with anything that they need support with.

I am very pleased with McDole. I have a third grader now and will have another entering school in the fall. My child takes the bus and I have nothing but kind words for the bus drivers. They are very attentive to the students and are proactive in making sure the children are safe. The school teachers are very kind, I have nothing but praise for the teachers. My child has loved every one of her teachers and they remember her when she see's them out in public. She does take home lots of homework at times and I do believe she is receiving the best education possible. I've even been told that the school ranks up there with the highly rated Naperville district but without the high taxes!

We have been very pleased with our experience with McDole. Our child has really enjoyed learning and is very excited about going to school each day. They work hard to make learning fun and they work hard to not allow any bulling. The teachers are caring and really enjoy the kids. I have always been listened to and treated with respect when I have had questions. The office staff is also very friendly and warm. So happy to have our child at this school!

I have been extreamly pleased with McDole Elementary School. They did a great job with both my son and my daughter. My children were not at grade level in reading, but now my son made the honor roll in middle school this year and my daughter is starting to excel in reading. We left some highly ranked schools and Wheaton and really have no regrets at this point.

I have to say McDole has been a great school for our kids. The staff/teachers are extremly caring and understanding. They want the best for their students. The principle truly wants to be apart of the childrens school routines and activities. I am very happy our kids attend McDole!
