Morgan Park Academy

• Private School
• CHICAGO, IL
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.42 out of 5  111 reviews

Senior: The Morgan Park Academy community is one that any student would feel more than comfortable being in. I began my journey at MPA my freshman year and my biggest concern was "fitting in" as I thought that I would be at a disadvantage since some of my classmates would have already known each other from middle school. I couldn't have been more wrong. Not only was the faculty inviting but the students were so welcoming and made my transition into a new environment seamless. It didn't take long at all to call the school a second home as I immediately made friendships and built connections with my teachers. If I were to choose one thing that I love about MPA the most, it would probably be the classes. Class sizes are small and teachers make an effort to make their classrooms and curriculum appealing to the students. Comfortable seating, essential oil diffusers, candy jars, Smartboards...the lengths that the faculty goes for the students to actually want to be in a classroom is remarkable!...Read 111 Reviews

• Rating 4.1 out of 5  498 reviews

Niche User: I had a great time and made lots of friends who I still keep in contact with today! Many of the teachers there were friendly and respectful, and they really helped me to learn what I need to know. The staff made sure the students had a good time and we’re all safe while doing so. The only downside I would say is the amount of work some teachers give out would be over the top sometimes, but most of the teachers knew their limits. Overall, I highly recommend this school. I made some of my best memories there...Read 498 Reviews

Marian Catholic High School

• Private School
• CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL
• 9-12
• Rating 3.91 out of 5  568 reviews

Parent: The reason we first decided to send our kids to Marian had everything to do with the Academic standards that Marian sets in place and that the kids just naturally accept on a day to day basis! The standard for University enrollment is not only extremely high in terms of the percentage of students going on to a 4 year program. The variety of Universities is also very high and teaches the next year of students that virtually anywhere is in reach if they want to go for it! ...What we have learned over the last four years is the idea that these teachers here at Marian are ultimately and truly invested in each and every child’s lives. The teachers and staff at Marian cares for the child as an individual even more than the child as a student! What more can you ask for, from a parents point of view?...Read 568 Reviews

Marist High School

• Private School
• CHICAGO, IL
• 9-12
• Rating 4.21 out of 5  452 reviews

Parent: Marist has been a very good environment for my daughter, who is a senior. She went from a very small grammar school (32 kids in the entire class) to high school with a freshman enrollment of almost 600! I thought the adjustment would be difficult for her but everyone was very welcoming. The academics are tough! But I feel it is preparing her for college. The counselors are very helpful and easy to talk to. The teachers are great, very very helpful. Of course if I had the opportunity to change anything it would be the tuition, but it's a private school therefore they get no money from the government so it falls on parents and alumni, which is completely understandable...Read 452 Reviews

Providence Catholic High School

• Private School
• NEW LENOX, IL
• 9-12
• Rating 4.25 out of 5  178 reviews

Parent: Providence Catholic High School has excellent academics; their students significantly exceed the state averages in all of the standardized test scores. Their student to teacher ratio is 14:1, so every child receives an abundance of guidance and care. But it is the wonderful, loving atmosphere of this school that makes it truly amazing! There are no cliques; the students are so kind and supportive of each other. It seems too good to be true, until you meet the President of the school, Father John Merkelis. That's when you realize how lucky your child will be to attend Providence Catholic. Father "Merk" is a genuine disciple of Christ. The entire culture of his school is a reflection of this humble, exceptional servant of God...Read 178 Reviews

Senior: For a home school student, American School was the best option for me. They send you textbooks, workbooks, test booklets, and provide a plethora of help websites and reviews online. The teachers are quick to respond to emails and calls, and leave helpful notes on tests. Awesome school!...Read 26 Reviews

Heritage Christian School

• Rating 3.9 out of 5  10 reviews

Junior: It is a very fun place to be! If you are a person interested in learning music, this is the place for you! They start teaching music at a young age, and if you need any help, every teacher is helpful! This place also exceeds in training young people in step with God, and even though the student body is small, everyone is friendly! The only problem I personally would have is that it's a bit expensive. ...P.S. -Also, there are some strict rules, but as long as you follow them, you can get away with some ;)Read 10 Reviews

Council Oak Montessori School

• Private School
• BLUE ISLAND, IL
• PK, K-8
• Rating 5 out of 5  6 reviews

Parent: My daughter has attended Council Oak since mid year kindergarten (Children’s House). Her anxieties with school vanished. I am a public school teacher, but chose to send her to Montessori school as I understand what quality teaching and learning looks like. Council Oak gives a quality educational experience. She was presented with appropriate work for her level. She was allowed to choose activities that she was interested in as well and being guided through the curriculum. At 8 years old she was explaining the binomial square and solving it! She grew socially and became quite curious about the world. The community is kind and caring like a family. Parental involvement is the best I’ve seen. I’m always amazed with her teachers (guides). When I read her report card, I could not believe how detailed it was. I thought to myself that they know her better than I do! I am thankful and grateful for the COMS community...Read 6 Reviews

Parent: IJP was an excellent choice for my three children. They learned to work hard and enjoyed school. They grew spiritually, personally, and academically over their eleven years each there (includes preschool)! They each went on to thrive at Marian and in college. The staff is knowledgable, helpful, and loving. This nuturing environment values its diversity and high standards of behavior and academics. IJP is the place to be!...Read 10 Reviews

Southwest Chicago Christian School

• Private School
• TINLEY PARK, IL
• PK, K-8
• Rating 4.85 out of 5  20 reviews

Parent: There are so many great things about this school! First, because it is a Christian school, objective truth is acknowledged, taught, and honored. This includes teaching about our Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This also means the standards are high. SCCS strives for excellence in all aspects of school life because that is most glorifying to our Savior...This leads the second best thing about the school: the teachers. The teachers here truly love and care for their students. They see this as more than just a jobs, but as a calling, and it shows.Next, the families of the school are great. When the parents of all the students also have "skin in the game," they push the students to work hard, get along, honor Christ. All are on the same team.Since we are to love God with body, mind, and soul, they prioritize arts and athletics alongside academics.Things I wish were different include the difficulties due to limited budgets funded by tuition.Read 20 Reviews

Parent: I have nothing but positive things to say of St. Agnes and their staff. I have 1 daughter who graduated 2 years ago and 2 daughters who currently attend here. Our girls love it and are excited to be in school everyday!It’s such joy to hear our girls talk about the wonderful things that they’re learning as well as how much they enjoy the enrichment programs that St. Agnes has to offer. Teachers and staff are wonderful, especially at making sure that students achieve milestones academically and socially. We’re looking forward to their return. ...Thank you to St. Agnes staff for taking such great care of Gianna, Summer and Lia! ~ Marcela RiveraRead 5 Reviews
