"Since I only have experience with the G & T class, I am not basing my review on the General Education curriculum/classes. This school is part of School District 11 and it is one of two schools which has a Gifted and Talented program in our district. When my daughter was applying, she had the option of attending either Throop or Helen Keller with her test score. After visiting both schools, I felt that Throop gave off a warmer vibe vs. Helen Keller so I picked Throop, and I am happy with my decision. My daughter entered the G & T class this year as a Kindergartener and she had a blast. My daughter has blossomed into a happy and mature girl from a shy and insecure child. When I ask her who her best friend is, she says all of her classmates are her best friends. The school administration is generally responsive and you really get a small school vibe although this school has almost 1,000 students. My daughter's Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Sanchez is an excellent educator and I hope my daughter's 1st Grade teacher is just as great."
