My child is studying at Ward J school from preschool to eighth grade. Along the way, the growth process of the child is what I want. I also often volunteer at school. I saw that all the administrators and teachers in this school are centered on children's education, and listen to the suggestions of parents, a school worthy of you to join. You are welcome to join our team.

My son attended to James Ward school since kindergarten. I love the school has strong Multi cultural background. The teacher and the stuff very friendly and care about the students and they’re families. They’re good Level 1+ neighborhood school.

I am a graduate of Ward Elementary School, and I can honestly say that the staff is exceptional. There is no bias here when I say that the teachers and administration are friendly, caring, professional, and even quite humorous. The teachers care about their students, and will go great lengths to help kids in need. However, the major problem I had at this school was that I felt like the curriculum was extremely watered down for the "slower" children. I yearned for knowledge, but there were not enough advanced courses to take at JWS. All in all, It's a great school and even though I felt restricted at times, I spent some great years here at Ward. I now attend one of Chicago's most prestigious high schools so I guess this elementary school is doing something right. 3/5 stars. (3 and 1/2 if i could)
