Latin School of Chicago Reviews
Rating 4.04 out of 5 114 reviews
If you have received financial aid from Latin, please be aware that the aid package we received turned out to be a sham. Although we received a generous aid package during our first year, our financial obligation increased significantly every year, and we ended up paying almost the entire tuition fee for multiple children. While Latin claims to consider the entire family's finances, and we also expected some increase due to our rising income, the decision to increase our financial obligation this much did not make sense at all. This eventually forced us to withdraw our children from the school, even though they still wanted to attend. It was an extremely painful experience for our entire family, and we are not sure if there have been any policy changes over time or if we were singled out and treated unfairly.
At Latin there is an excellent academic program. The staff tries their best to make sure we succeed no matter what we are trying to do. You can choose almost any sport and the teachers will train you and help you grow. There is almost any club you can choose and if you don’t see one you like you can make your own. They are super organized and have been so prepared for any issues that come their way. In general Latin has given me an amazing experience and I definitely recommend!
This school has prepared me for college and life beyond like no other possibly could. Latin breeds incredibly motivated students that are ready to change the world. While it has its issues, as every school does, I would choose to go to Latin 10 times over. The food is so good too.
