momsrus: Chicago International Charter Schools (Lloyd Bond Elementary) is an excellent school. This is my first year experience dealing with a charter school and I must admit all of my worries have been put to rest. The Staff is AWESOME! The environment is full of positive energy. I love it and my children love it.
