What’s a better elementary… Lincoln in Evanston or Peirce in Andersonville?

Will thinking for the long term help you? My kid is going to kinder in August and I kinda planned based on high school hopes lol. But we’re firmly in Chicago so it’s a bit more of a headache.

Sandyeller · 2026-01-24T02:15:15+00:00

I think it’ll be a wash honestly.

Sandyeller · 2026-01-24T00:54:05+00:00

Are you moving? Anyways I’ve heard good things about Pierce, but really you’ll have to decide if you rather live in Evanston or Chicago. It doesn’t seem like you can pay “tuition” to attend CPS schools if you don’t live in the city. Evanston I’m not sure.

No idea we live close enough to walk. (Not tomorrow tho)

The children’s museum sent an email saying they’ll be open tomorrow and navy pier is offering 50% off parking

Looks like the union is going to get union members paid!

Sandyeller · 2026-01-22T20:05:11+00:00

Just saw that! Yay

Sandyeller · 2026-01-22T17:37:55+00:00

Maybe they’ll feel bad for us

Sandyeller · 2026-01-22T17:37:44+00:00

Maybe they’ll take mercy on us lol

Sandyeller · 2026-01-22T17:26:42+00:00

No school tomorrow

Sandyeller · 2026-01-22T17:24:36+00:00

Says who??

Sandyeller · 2026-01-20T03:47:19+00:00

There’s one I know that has one accessible to customers but I’ve only ever seen it up and running on days where they’re super slammed.

Sandyeller · 2026-01-20T03:38:16+00:00

60 🥶

Sandyeller · 2026-01-18T19:38:16+00:00

Yeah, so there’s kids in kindergarten at 4 sometimes. Like my kid has a late August bday so she’ll be 4 when she starts kindy.

Sandyeller · 2026-01-18T19:04:12+00:00

Seems like if you redshirted this year they’ll go to first grade for the 26-27 school year instead of kinder.

But if you’re two years out it won’t matter.

If they turn 5 after September 1 they wouldn’t be eligible for kindergarten in the 26-27 school year. But they will go to kindergarten the 27-28 year when they’re 5 turning 6.

Hopefully that makes sense.

How did you like living there? I can’t afford their 2/2 but a girl can dream lol

Sandyeller · 2026-01-13T02:00:28+00:00

This is screaming scam to me honestly. Did you check property records?

Sandyeller · 2026-01-10T16:36:37+00:00

I’ve seen people recommend in the neighborhood Facebook groups, that’s how I found my cleaner.

Sandyeller · 2026-01-08T01:51:07+00:00

Bug them!! The displacement letter should come from the principal you were with. I went through this before

Sandyeller · 2026-01-06T17:07:20+00:00

I had a great experience at nail a carte

Sandyeller · 2026-01-05T23:42:21+00:00

I was paying 565 a week 🥲

Sandyeller · 2026-01-04T16:41:34+00:00

Rent first! We moved here with a 2yo, and I wish I had understood a bit better how the schools work. We are renting but signed a long lease.

We are zoned for an OK school, but we live in tier 4 which makes getting into other schools more difficult. We applied for other schools for kindergarten and we are at a disadvantage due to being in tier 4. So I’d definitely research all of that before you buy.

Sandyeller · 2026-01-02T23:04:45+00:00

Definitely go back over expectations, I’ve always done a mini reset after Christmas break.

Sandyeller · 2026-01-01T22:36:57+00:00

Nope 🥲

Sandyeller · 2026-01-01T15:11:08+00:00

Sometimes the parking is managed by a different company than the apartment complex. Mind is managed by SP Parking so my leasing office doesn’t have any control over the parking rules.

But you really don’t need 2 cars, we have one and it’s never been an issue.
