LaSalle Language Academy

Fantastic experience: I’m a former CPS primary grades teacher as well as a LaSalle parent of 6+ years. Our experience has been amazing from the support my children receive academically and emotionally to learning a new language and world culture. In addition, the community of parents at the school are warm and inviting. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Fantastic experience: Teachers are friendly

Negative experience: I am deeply disappointed with my child's experience at LaSalle Language Academy. From day one, it was clear that this school is failing its students. The teachers and staff seem indifferent to the well-being of the children, especially when it comes to critical issues like bullying and fighting. Despite my repeated attempts to bring these issues to their attention, nothing was done to address the problems. My child felt unsafe and unsupported, which is unacceptable. Beyond the safety concerns, the school's community events are consistently disappointing. Movie nights, which were supposed to be a fun way for students and families to connect, were repeatedly shut down with little to no explanation. This lack of transparency and commitment to building a positive school environment is disheartening. Overall, the staff at LaSalle Language Academy are horrible. They are unresponsive, unhelpful, and seem to lack the basic skills needed to manage a school effectively. I would strongly advise any parent to avoid sending their child to this school. There are far better options available that prioritize student safety, support, and community engagement.

Negative experience: LaSalle Language Academy is a truly awful school. The staff treats students unfairly, and the assistant principal is loud and rude. It's pathetic how little support they offer. Teachers talk about students, calling them slow and dumb. Nobody should go to a school like this. The teachers smoke on school grounds and have no respect for the students. The principal claims to support the students, but that's a lie. All she does is back up her staff and herself. They abuse their power, and teachers curse at students for minor mistakes. No student should ever be treated like this. Before you send your kids to this school, please make sure it’s not this one. Teachers laugh about students failing and do nothing to help them. Teachers like this are childish and immature.

Negative experience: This school is terrible my son was getting picked on and he got beat up and the teacher and they told to grow up and that he was deep and that he was slow and how even got pass 7grade I would not recommend this for your kids
