  • I honestly have mixed feelings about South Loop Elementary lately. While the teachers are great, the actual building maintenance is getting concerning for my kid's health. We've heard about multiple service calls for leaking pipes and water issues, which definitely makes me worry about mold or dampness in the classrooms. Plus, the school is getting so crowded that it feels like every lingering cold or flu just rips through the grades instantly. Communication about illness outbreaks could be way better—usually, I only hear about something from other parents in the Facebook group rather than the office. It's tough because we love the location, but I really wish the city would invest more in the physical health of the building so it didn't feel so cramped and neglected.
