Since September of this year my third grader has been assaulted almost everyday by two students in his class. They are troublemakers in general, but the abuse of my child in particular has gotten out of hand. This has been escalated up to the superintendent, and has yet to be resolved. Ive gotten nothing but excuses from the school about why these students cant be removed from his class, and why they cant keep him safe. In addition to that, the school is not responsive to my sons outside counselor. I signed the release for them to work with her, but they wont return her calls. If your child tends to be a target, they wont help. I have been advised that it will take a lawsuit to get any real change. So, that is where this is headed. Thats money out of our own pockets on top of the ridiculous property taxes were already paying to make this school actually do their job. Do not recommend.

Unorganized, poor communication, and some teachers are rude. Compared to other elementary schools within Hawthorn this one has gone down hill.

Our experience with Townline has been excellent overall. Both my boys are challenged by staff academically. Anytime we have approached staff with a social or bullying issue; it's been quickly addressed. If you're an involved parent; the staff at Townline is always willing to help. We moved here two years ago from Colorado and have had nothing but excellent experiences with Townline; both academically and socially. Teachers see parents as partners. I really can't say enough good about this school. Both my kids are thriving at Townline.

Excellent School. My daughter is in kindergarten. Very nice and caring teachers. My daughter was ahead in reading, so they had an enrichment program for advanced readers. They have a nice music teacher and art work. Very happy with this school.

My three children attended Townline (the dual language program), My oldest was in the pilot program and while there were some deficiencies when she got to high school, she caught up quickly. She finished the Spanish and French curricula in HS, learning languages like a sponge, probably due to the excellent experience she had at Townline. By the time my second child finished the DL program, the deficiencies that my daughter had experienced were fixed. My youngest is still at Townline and all three of them have excellent accents. My daughter was able to communicate effectively with a family in Latin America who spoke no English. It was amazing how fluent she was, she sounded like a native. We are grateful to have the chance for our children to learn a second language at such a young age, the teachers have all been amazing.

My son attends Dual Language (which is a separate school than Townline- but I want to respond to the below review.) It is an incredible program with dedicated teachers who go above and beyond. They provide opportunities for the kids to work at their level throughout the school day. As far as the homework issue, it sounds to me like the teachers are just complying with district policy of purposeful homework- not busy work. As for the movies, a quick reading of the newsletter will tell you how they support the curriculum. I feel privileged to be a part of this program! The teachers and staff are amazing!

My son was in the Dual Language program in Kindergarten. Both my husband (spanish speaker) and I were very displeased. Homework was given once a week. Mistakes in the Spanish assignments.Closer to the end of the year there were almost no Spanish assignments, when I asked for extra Spanigh assignments for my son to practice the teacher just said, and I quote "We send home worksheets for homework that apply to what we are teaching, so when appropriate, we will continue to send home the worksheets that review the syllables." Mind you, my son reads fluently so: syllables? Thanks for nothing. When they did tracing numbers, I asked for something more challenging (my son can add and subtract 2-digit numbers), even offered to provide math worksheets. No. We felt that the teacher just did not care. I am a teacher myself, so I understand it's hard, but if someone is asking for extra work, it's not that hard to find a worksheet. They also watched two movies: Wall-e and Finding Nemo - about 3 hours total. Nothing else to do? I also thought this way of learning a language (just by listening to other people speak) is not for everyone. The principal of the Dual Language does not care much either
