This is an up and coming school in Hyde Park. They have a great partnership with the University of Chicago Neighborhood Schools Program. The new administration empowers its teachers to go above and beyond for their students. The new principal is working hard to bring in extra resources such as yearlong Spanish instruction through LANGO and yearlong fine arts instruction from Hyde Park Art Center. There is a Friends of Shoesmith group that is working hard to support and transform the school by volunteering, writing grants, acquiring sponsors, and working to get the community involved in the school. The Local School Council is becoming more and more active and clearly want what’s best for the school. It’s located in a beautiful park in a safe and hip neighborhood. I think that in a few more years, this school will be a school of choice for many more parents in the neighborhood.
It’s a Tier 1 school now! Let’s hope that counts for something significant. It’s my kid’s first year at Shoesmith (2nd and 3rd grade). The school has made a good first impression, so I’m taking it one day at a time. Everyone (parents and faculty) seems proud of the school and committed to maintaining the new status. I plan to be active as well in the hopes that we can make a difference.
I’ll revisit my review mid-year in the hopes of changing it to five stars!
Pros: Some of the staff and faculty are very kind and friendly.
Cons: This school is run like a day care, not an educational facility. There is a lack of extra curricular activities. There seems to be a break down in communication between the faculty and staff.
