Need guidance –
Going in 2nd grade.
Skinner West Classical vs. Pritzker RGC?
-
Hi – My daughter is a rising 3rd grader in Pritzker’s gifted program, and she has been enrolled since kindergarten. Overall, we like the program a lot and my daughter is very happy. The LSC is strong, but in my opinion the principal leaves something to be desired. I will also say that 2nd grade was less than ideal because it was the teacher’s first year teaching, so there were understandably some bumps along the way. Hopefully things will be a bit more streamlined and organized for the future 2nd grade cohorts. Happy to answer any other questions you may have about the program.

Hi there,
we are in the same situation this year. Very happy with Pritzker RGC but got an offer at skinner. Curious whether the classical program of cps is better or the RGC? What did you end up doing? Any thoughts, experience or advice?

Where do you guys live?
We’re considering Skinner West Classical but live in Avondale.The commute seems a bit much but it’s seems better than the schools in the area.

I’d pick Skinner West Classical. Each year, majority of the classical and neighborhood students got accepted into WYHS and WYAC. Their rigorous academic program is built to make the transition easier in the SEHS.
