Antioch Upper Grade School

Posted June 16, 2009

AUGS is a good school. There are many caring teachers and administrators. I have 2 children in AUGS. Their needs have been more than met and challenged. There is ample support if you need it. There is a strong anti-bullying campaign present, with special speakers who exemplify the importance of character in a person. For example a holocaust survivor came and spoke to the kids. I have been a volunteer, and also worked in this school as a paid employee and have attended the district's school improvement program last year. I know that with the limited budget this school operates on they are doing an outstanding job with the resources they have.

I love this school it teaches you great responsibilities and is fun we do things i wouldn't ever imagine doing in school such as a dance every other Friday call TCT . I have gotten better grades over the years just being with district 34 they also have 10th hour which teachers stay and help you with your work it's a truly wonderful school and i haven't had to stay 10th hour because i didn't understand anything. I stayed to hang out with my teacher!the teachers are so nice but don't do anything that will make them turn into the meanest teachers

The review below is exactly how I see this school today. It's embarrassing that when I reveal where my kids attend Jr. High, I get a look of 'too bad'. I completely blame the current leadership for not taking action on some very poor teachers. They just don't care. In 4 years, I've found 1 teacher there that's worthy of teaching. The rest are just paying their dues until they can get into a better district or have tenure and waiting to retire..In the meantime, the kids are truly suffering.
