Beasley Academic Center, Chicago | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Beasley Academic Center has lots of resources for the students to get engage in. The teacher as well as the staff are highly certified to do what their assigned to do. From the teachers to the kitchen crew, the office crew, counselors, coaches , security everyone knows and has experience to do their Jobs and very well at that. If you wondering who this is yes I am currently (class of 2015) a student at Beasley Academic Center and I love it. So many things you children can take into their everyday lives from Beasley. They don’t just teach math, science, social studies and more they teach you how to be a young adult. They emphasize that there’s more to life then the norm, there’s things to do, people to meet and places to go. This all take place in an elementary school, its more than what the parents see at dismissal time. Of course kids are going to run its the end of the day, they cant wait to get home. I’m keeping it 100 with you guys, its amazing. Also think about were talking about children here and I’m a child so I would know, we want something fun once in a while! Beasley has it all “eighth graders goes to visit the White House in Washington DC for their class trip” , 7th graders prep to go to Bermuda to see the Bermuda triangle” , goes skating etc. It doesn’t always have to be about school work and when it is lets make that fun too. THIS GOES TO ALL “GIVE BEASLEY A CHANCE AND WATCH YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED” !! You know what they say “Once You Go Bee You’ll Never Get A F,C or D”.

My son attends Beasley’s Regional Gifted Center and he likes it. I wish there were more parents involved, but I understand work schedules may not allow more parents to participate in PAC and LSC meetings. The parents are nice when we see each other at birthday parties.

His teacher, Ms. Hickman is awesome and her classroom is well managed with no aide. I can’t imagine having control over that many little people at one time. The curriculum is definitely 2 grades above the regular grade level, but my son and the other students are keeping up just fine. It seems like a lot of work, but we’re making it work! It is definitely an adjustment.

There are usually four worksheets of homework per day, a book report once per week and a poem that must be written, memorized and recited. There is a spelling test every week with approximately 15 words, some are up to 5 syllables. There’s a project once or twice per month. They are constantly having book fairs, which is nice, but we have no more room in our house for books.

I had my heart set on Lenart, but I have absolutely no complaints about Beasley’s gifted program. I am not sure about the classes taught at grade level.

I placed my daughter in this school assuming that it would be a great environment, for her coming out of a private christian setting. I found after 2 months that I was so wrong and nothing else could have been further from the truth. My daughter was in 5th grade, and the kids were so unruly and she was being bullied everyday because she did not curse and use foul language. She also has great character and was once engaged in learning, but know she isn’t as she became so distracted by the bullying and behavior of the other students in the class that we have to work extremely hard to get her back to where she needs to be. Despite the constant bullying the teacher and administration failed to do anything to make the situation better. I will likely be removing my daughter from here and putting her back in a private setting. I have no idea why this school is revered so highly, this was the worst experience for us going into the CPS school system.
