My daughter is a rising fourth grader in the GATE program. She's absolutely performing at her highest capacity and is fully engaged. Her teachers are nurturing but push her to be her best. The principal is EXCEPTIONAL in her leadership skills, high expectations, and dedication. The athletic programs and clubs are excellent with high degrees of parental involvement. Children in this school are on the path to doing very well in high school, college and beyond. My only wish would be for more homework. My daughter doesn't have much to do once she gets home, so we supplement her learning with workbooks and apps.

I have had 4 children go through Armstrong, one who will be entering the 4th grade and I have to say that this is a wonderful school. The leadership is outstanding and the teachers are always willing to work with students and parents to ensure that their child is getting a quality education.

Neil Armstrong is a great school. The newly hired principal inspires kids and the teachers work very well with the students. This is certainly the best elementary school in Richton Park. The school is in a safe environment and the students are challenged and nurtured daily.

Neil Armstrong School is an Ok school. I am a student there and I am in 5th grade and we are in our last moth of school for this year. i'v been at this school since the last quarter of 4th grade but it was alright,the teachers are somtimes funny but i LOVE my 5th grade teacher mrs.carlton. so heres my review of the school: its alright,the student council gets to do alot of things and is very supportive of makeing donations and things like that,the food should DEFINETLY be healthier instead of fattening things that are most of the time cold, there are not enough sports except like 2 and it only lasts about 2 weeks or 3 weeks, theres not enough play equitment outside and not enough time to play inside and outside,the teachers are ok but every single day theres yelling or something bad happens of both,there have been lots of fight but not ALOT,and that is my rewiew of neil a. arstrong school thannks!!!
