Illinois Lutheran High School Reviews

58 reviews

The school is small, which is good and bad. The teachers can pay attention to everyone and give help when students need it. It is easy to know nearly everyone's name. However, because of the small size, there is not a great variety of classes offered. For people who really want to challenge themselves or focus in on a specific topic, there is not much wiggle room.

Very hard to assimilate. I'm pretty sure over time, the school will eventually become diverse, but when I attended, it was not. The experience was boring and not enough clubs/activities.

The academics are top-tier. However, the school is not diverse. It still has a long way to go with that aspect. I didn't enjoy myself; I couldn't wait to graduate.

Review Illinois Lutheran High School

What I love about my school is that I’m being challenged every day, that I can use my God given talents and utilize them by singing in a choir, playing saxophone in a band, play volleyball, basketball, golf and participate in contests among schools. Teachers are amazing and very supportive and my friends are always there for me when I need them. We all know each other and value Christian education. I can let my light shine and I can spread that light for years to come!

We just recently moved to Crete and we decided as a family to send our son to ILHS after taking a tour & meeting w/ the principal. He came from public schools, so he's had a taste of both world's now & we can't say enough good things about ILHS! Our son is now succeeding in most of his studies while getting the chance to learn more about god. He's back in sports doing well and Taryn the recruitment director has been nothing but accommodating & amazingly helpful.

I’ve had nothing, but good experiences at Illinois Lutheran High School. My favorite thing would have to be how much each teacher truly cares about their students. They are easily accessible and approachable. At ILHS you have the opportunity to build a strong relationship with teachers due to the small class sizes and this makes it easier to ask questions and look for help during classes.

Teachers listen and are interested in their students. Our children are nurtured and supported with God's word.

Sound, Christian education with strong overall academic program. It is a safe and nurturing environment. The teachers are very caring and conscientious.

We have been truly blessed to be a part of such an amazing school! It is such a wonderful school and community! We love our ilhs/Trinity family and friends! I believe the environment we raise our youth in makes a huge impact on the adults they become!

As a student at ILS, I love how kind, caring and willing to listen the teachers and staff are. I love the family atmosphere and the challenging classes. I also enjoy being able to participate in a wide range of after school activities and events. I feel very blessed to be a part of the ILS family!

Our family loves the christian atmosphere at ILS. There is great communication between staff and parent. Students are trained to be responsible for them self and their actions. Extremely positive experience!

I cannot give enough stars for this school. My son has loved it since he started in Junior High. The teachers have a big heart for these kids and they take time out of their day to help the kids if they don't understand their work. Their athletics are awesome and so are the coaches. They remind the kids that they are team and to always work together.
Couldn't ask for a better school to send my son to.

This is our first year at a private and we are definitely coming back. High expectations and no discipline problems, what else can a parent wish for?

My son did all his high school years there. It was an amazing experience for him and I. If a child wanted to play sports be in the band etc they could , no one was left out .

I liked the that teachers were easy to talk to and understandable. They are very caring towards their students and want what’s best for them. They have prepped me well for college and given me a great foundation through academics and athletics to go out into the world.

I really enjoyed it. Quality education, with a huge emphasis on Jesus Christ. The teachers did a great job of letting the gospel shine through in our classes. If I still lived in the area, I would definitely send my own children to ILHS too.

My children transferred in from public school after 5th grade, and both of them fell in love immediately. The faculty and staff genuinely care about each student and his/her academic, social, and emotional growth.

Review Illinois Lutheran High School

The small family feel, excellent academics, friendly staff and rthe teaching of Gods word, all make ILHS one of the best schools around.

The entire staff at ILHS is simply the best!! The current school year has been challenging to say the least but Administration and staff did an amazing job at doing everything possible to keep our students in person learning right from the start of the school year. My son is flourishing due to the dedication of all of the teachers. Beyond blessed to be apart of the ILHS family.

I love the smaller class sizes that I feel offer more individual attention. I love the communication the school offers, I always know what’s going on and when and don’t have to stress about missing anything.
