Junior: I am currently a junior in Carmel Catholic High School. I couldn’t have picked a better school. In fact it doesn’t even feel like a school. It feels like a second home. All my friends are there and are very supportive. And not all of them are students! You’re teachers aren’t just teachers, they’re friends! Not only that, but Carmel also has various sports, arts, clubs, activities, resources, and more that have really prepared me for the real world. The best part of Carmel is the community. It’s like a second family to me! Everyone there is so loving and kind. Carmel also pays a lot of attention to the faith of students at Carmel. Although, it has been the year of COVID, the masses we’ve had still continue to feel like family gatherings. I’d recommend Carmel to those seeking out high schools with a large and loving community.... Read 399 reviews

Alum: Grayslake North High School was a great high school as it was safe, very strong in academics & relatively new when I went there! It was easy to make friends, play sports & get ahead academically. I wish anyone who will be attending Grayslake North the best of luck!... Read 369 reviews

Alum: Westlake Christian Academy is not perfect--no school is, especially small private schools. Sure, they do not have as many AP classes or clubs as a public school, but that's what you would expect from such a small school. What differentiates Westlake is the people. Never have I had such a group of caring teachers or friends around me. Everyone there, student or faculty, truly cares about you and your education. Furthermore, the spiritual formation at the school is incredible. Westlake has helped me grow in my faith significantly, even though I was only there for a few short years. Additionally, there are benefits to going to a smaller school! Camaraderie within classes was wonderful, and even an average athlete can compete on multiple varsity sports teams. Even though it often gets a bad rep, I would hands down fully recommend Westlake to any parents or students looking for a quality education in a Christian environment; you won't find anywhere better!...

High School Senior: The teachers are more than happy to take time out of their day to help you with anything and they make sure that you're on top of things. They really do care, and that's what makes a school great, is having someone who pushes you to the limits and strives for your exellence... Read 1 review

Senior: At Grant, there are many opportunities to learn and explore your career interests. We have classes that go beyond the state's needs, and I know some people can't learn further than a specific level. I know during the end of my Freshman and Sophomore year, the teachers tried their hardest to keep us engaged and interested in what they were talking about during the pandemic. A few teachers during that period reached out and made sure that I was okay and appreciated the support I've had through the last four years. There was a time when a protest was planned, and I think the board handled the variety of emotions of students well.... Read 365 reviews

Parent: The teachers, principal and staff are amazing. The foster a culture that is inclusive, fun and extremely conducive to learning. They teach more than the three R's and STEM. Each person actively engages students to help the children become all they can be. In my opinion, the hot lunches leave a lot to be desired on both nutritional and palatable scales. Also, we parents aren't as engaged as we can be. It seems like the PTO is always needing to beg at the last minute for volunteers. Also, more parents helping, especially for the early levels would be a huge plus.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: Love this school, being a minority is scary but here I feel like a majority as the school consist of low income family students. Due to the low teacher to student ratio, students are able to build relationships with Teachers. We also have a work study program that allows us to have internships at a very young age giving us job/work experience before anyone else our age. With this we are bale to work in big corporations that allow us to network and learn whilst still having a rigorous coursework. Will forever be grateful of the opportunities that Cristo Rey St. Martin has offered me.... Read 83 reviews

Alum: Round Lake Senior High school brought out many educational opportunities and benefits towards many students. The school made sure everyone has equal opportunity to garner as much educational knowledge. The brand new building and tools and computers widened the the scope and possibility for better learning. Newer technology enabled better communication and better understanding among teachers, mentors, and students. Graduating from Round Lake Senior High school opened me up to new opportunity and new experiences otherwise not taught by any other school. This High school has improved greatly in terms of provision, and educational standard. The teachers and mentors places their students up to a high standard and teaches them the value of accountability in terms of studies. The Services provided by the school are intermediate and staff is very accommodating and helpful to students and parents alike. Given my experiences in Round Lake Senior High School, I would not trade it for the world.... Read 250 reviews

Parent: We currently have all three of our children enrolled at Frassati Catholic Academy. The teachers, administration, and staff have been outstanding since we started our journey in 2012. Everyone is very approachable and personable. My husband and I are pleased with the curriculum at all levels, providing the kids with the building blocks to create future habits, including organization skills, teamwork, time management, and excellent study practices. Kids have plenty of options to join both clubs and sports. These options offer the kids additional chances to learn how to work with others while having fun. The Frassati Family Association is a great group of parents that support the schools' mission and offer a variety of fun activities throughout the school year. The events offer families the opportunity to socialize while supporting the school. We continue to be thrilled with our decision to invest in our kids and send our kids to Frassati Catholic Academy.... Read 11 reviews
