Too many temp/sub teachers and they are used too often.

My special needs child was enrolled in the early childhood program. Not only was I insulted by the director but the staff was unwilling to work with constructive ideas from parents well educated about special needs. They hardly focused on the IEP and completely ignored the general ISBE curriculum as well. They keep low standards at early childhood level. It is a crying shame. They were concerned about keeping the 'appearance' of a high standard however, failed miserbly. I was insulted time and time again.....

Elmwood is a good school. The teachers in the lower grades are motivated and encouraging to the younger students. My son enjoys going to school and has been able to take advantage of the special reading program for students having difficulty learning to read. The school (and the district for that matter) do not have a scientifically researched reading program and that might account for the low 80 percentile score in the ISAT reading test. There is very little homework and low pressure on the students. There is a high ratio student to teacher and aides available only to the special pull out programs.
