It's a very good school, I went here up until 6th grade and even now what I learned here still…read morehelps me in this new school. If I hadn't moved away I would've stayed from 2nd-8th grade. You can really tell that the Teachers truly care for and know their students. The classes are small so you can really get to know the teachers and the students. The students there are very kind (As kind as Middle schoolers can be ) and I still find myself talking to them, despite being far away. This school has plenty extracurriculars and allows their students to tap into new interests or skills that can help in long term. The school does many fun things to raise money which helps families struggling with tuition. This school was an amazing experience for me and still teaches me things to this day. SEND UR KIDS HERE PLS ITS SO FUN I ACTUALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO SCHOOL GOING HERE!

This building is there to hog parking spaces…read more But 20 years ago, it used to be a place that fed me free food, taught me English, and scammed me with their overpriced chocolates. I swear... pyramid scheme began in elementary schools. But seriously though... this is one of the safest schools out there. Everyone in this neighborhood is so tame. Kids just run pretty rampant here like they own the place. They rebuilt the school yard and fixed the basketball hoop so now I can no longer slam dunk on it. The cool thing about this school is that they have a dedicated music class where you can learn how to play the string instruments. If you like to see your poor kid holding up a full size bass, go for it.

Ahhhhhh childhood memories. One of the greatest schools. When I was a child the school system in my…read moreneighborhood was so good. Many parents didn't even think of private school. My family sent my cousins and I there the three of us grew up making friends here and really learning a lot. The area is safe and close to the public library. Over the years though the school expanded heavily to accommodate the growing community of forest hills. The school it self changed a lot. My younger brother (now 16) had been sent to private school after attending this school for two years. My parents say it's not the same. How ever this is my opinion and I feel that it was honestly GREAT!

I agree with the other comment. The kids love going here and they behave which is strange because…read morethey do not behave at all at home. Its as good as you can get for the area where we live in Elmhurst. Its not very expensive for 2 kids and they seem to be safe there. They do get sick often which is the norm for any daycare. They do activities and while its a small place they seem to be kept busy all the time.

Couple of things to note about this location, our kids have been going here for a while and are…read moreREALLY happy about this school. We would have given this school a five-star aside from the fact that facilities are dated and worn. The student body is VERY diverse, in fact, it is majority MINORITIES with Chinese being spoken more than English. So the academic curriculum is quite advanced as kids are learning math, English, Reading. There is very little nurturing at the school as the academic environment is challenging (frequently other parents are asking for even MORE homework than is given). Being that most kids are Chinese, they are very intense academically. Quite a bit of students here do place in G&T programs every year (this one had about 40 students score well in 2012). Couple of improvements needed for this school. Facilities are basic- needs updating. The meals are not that great, though, so we supplement and give our kids their own lunch boxes everyday to add to their meals. Pros: - Kids are very happy here - Teaching and academics are rigorous (some people may not fit with this) - Children receive quite a bit of schooling - this is not a DAYCARE - Good hours- 8:30am - 5:30pm for full day - Great GREAT Value Cons: - Facilities are worn-down - If your kid likes nurturing or a structured-setting, this may not work for you - Not much of a PTA or community involvement from the parents, since most of us work full-time Our kids love this place and they are over-prepared for Kindergarten when they start.

Huge praise to Ms. Zohra, Ms. B, and Ms. Gigi. They were warm, caring, and professional throughout…read morethe main school day. The issues described below are strictly related to the after-school program, aides, and administration. Unfortunately, the after-school program and administrative oversight fell very short. A few major concerns: Lack of Physical Activity: The rooftop playground was under repair for the entire school year, and the indoor gym wasn't utilized during extended care. Expecting high-energy kids to sit from 3:00 to 6:00 PM with minimal physical outlet is unreasonable. Lack of Extracurricular Value: Basic enrichment like STEM, cooking, or arts/crafts are an additional cost on top of the tuition, whereas nearby programs and private pre-Ks offer these included. Without these add-ons, the afterschool program offers very little structure, leaving children in the same classroom from 3:00 to 6:00 PM with minimal engagement. Untrained Extended Care Staff: I witnessed inappropriate behavior from aides, including dangling food over my child to make him "beg" and loud yelling as a redirection tactic. When I raised this, administration initially dismissed it as a "language barrier" before retracting that statement. Communication & Supervision: Most of the after-school aides speak Mandarin as their primary language with limited English proficiency. While this works well for Mandarin-speaking families, it made it very difficult as an English-speaking parent to have basic daily conversations about my child's day. Administration even cited a "language barrier" when I raised concerns about aides shouting at students. Between the communication gaps, noticeable greeting biases from certain staff, and multiple transition-related injuries due to poor supervision, daily operations during extended care were very frustrating. The day teachers are great, but for the premium price, the after-school program lacks structure, safety, and proper staff training.

Forever grateful for this school! They are technically renamed B'Above but their sign and app still…read moresays Metrokids. Both my kids attend here from 1K - PK4 and they absolutely adore their teachers. It's a tight knit small school where practically all the directors/teachers/teacher aids know all the kids in every grade by their names. They have early drop off, late pickup and extracurricular classes in Reading, Piano, Arts, Mandarin, Spanish, and Ballet (for additional cost). They have a big outdoor and indoor playground and the teachers bring them outside for nature walks. Ms Una is the sweetest, most knowledgeable, and organize Director! Shout out to Ms Zohra, Ms M, Ms Alexis, Ms Sosan, Ms GG, and Ms Fiona! They also have early intervention, PT/OT/Speech therapist that works with the school if your child needs the extra attention. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better school. The only thing I wish they have is more pre-k 4 spots available.
