This school is one of the best if not the best in Schaumburg 54. The parent engagement, the caring teachers, strong academic focus and equity in diversity is amazing. The leadership from the principal and assistant principal are helpful, caring and attentive to all needs of students, parents and teachers.

We can confidently say that this school is nothing short of exceptional. The dedicated and passionate teachers make it a place of true learning and growth. What sets this school apart is its remarkable array of extracurricular activities, clubs, and competitions available throughout the school year. It's a haven for students to explore their interests and talents beyond the classroom.In addition, the Parent-Teacher Association plays a vital role in fostering a sense of community and support within the school. Their efforts contribute to the overall excellence of this institution. We are truly enamored with this school and the opportunities it provides. It's not just a place of education; it's a place of inspiration and community.

I am currently joining this school but Ian super Psyched about me transferring. I can not wait to come. Over the years I’ve had the worst experience with private schools. But I’ve heard nothing bad about this one.

Mrs. Kort and Ms. Rodriguez are both very effective and caring administrators. Mrs. Kort is highly visible in the classrooms and makes personal connections with all of the students. She knows each one by name. I think this new administrative team is off to a great start. In addition to that, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Dirksen staff. My children have had excellent teachers every year who go above and beyond to support and challenge them. Ms. Zizak , the school nurse, s also a gem. She goes out of her way to care for the students and parents at Dirksen. We have had many very positive interactions with her. Dirksen is a great school.

My son is in 5th grade now. He has been attending Dirksen since kindergarten. This school was our school of choice and we are so glad that we enrolled our son here. Caring and good teachers plus excellent academic records year after year.

I am a sixth grade student at Dirksen. I have attended since kindergarten. I am a huge fan of my school's teachers and principals, both new and long standing. Through opportunity, encouragement, and hard work I have won an excellence award in writing through Pub Lab, proved triumphant in the Battle of the Books challenge, and performed well is state testing. I have felt welcomed and encouraged to learn from the beginning of my education at Dirksen. Although Dirksen is no longer a school of choice in district 54, I highly recommend Dirksen to others.

I have no experience with the school in the past because my child is in kindergarten but I have to agree with the last review. I feel like the school has a very unpleasant learning environment. I think it is not healthy for children to be subjected to this type of environment at such an early age.

Anyone reading the reviews about this school should pay attention to the dates. The staff has Dirksen has been overhauled in the last few years and the school has taken on a much different and unpleasant learning environment.
