• 6-8
• 6 reviews

Freshman: Granger was an amazing school. The teachers tried their best and succeeded in getting students for high school and college. The only thing I would change are sports. The schools forte was never in sports rather it was weak. Granger contained a very good curriculum which I have used in and outside of school. Similarly, there were many school programs such as Grizzleaders which was a club similar to key club. In this club students did community service along with PSA’s to the entire school. Overall granger was an amazing school

Alum: Jefferson was amazing. There are so many sports and activities you can be apart of. When I was there I was encouraged to join the cheer team, even though I never cheered before I still made the team with the support of my teachers and friends. Great School!

Thayer J. Hill Middle School

• Indian Prairie Community Unit School District No. 204, IL
• 6-8
• 2 reviews

Senior: Hill Middle School was an excellent school for academics. There is a lot of push towards collecting as much information as possible. I am grateful for the drive it instilled in me, however, that drive, of course, comes with a cost. My focus was on school and my academics and never on my self or how to be kind to myself. Also, a lot of the kids pretend to be "tough" when in reality, it's more of preppy school.

Westview Hills Middle School

• Maercker School District No. 60, IL
• 6-8
• 6 reviews

Alum: The teachers here genuinely care about their students so much and create a friendly, hard working environment that builds community and trust. Cross country is highly competitive here with committed, experienced, likable coaches, but all of the other sports are not competitive. It has a great number of clubs here for it's size. This is the most diverse school I have witnessed and socially most students feel included and welcomed by other students. After going to high school, I realized how great the teachers and community was here at Westview! It was a great middle school to build a foundation on before high school. (Also it has a great band program and is strong overall in education but I was very unprepared for my science courses in high school).

Still Middle School

• Indian Prairie Community Unit School District No. 204, IL
• 6-8
• 3 reviews

Junior: Wow. I have to say that the academics at this school really push you which can definitely be tough on a middle schooler. I remember not going to school one day because I was so stressed about my home work. That being said, the teachers really push you to be better and I personally think I learned very well at this school. I personally never found a club I could really get into (the music program is really based on favoritism and everyone knows it). In addition, the food is average but way too expensive for a school lunch. For diversity, I would say the school is almost entirely Indians and white people. Most of the students came from decently wealthy families which made me, for one, feel very out of place. I was a new student here in 7th grade and I had absolutely no idea where to go with no help. Overall, the academics and teachers are absolutely wonderful at this school but it does lack in some other areas.

Middle School Student: Great school! Great teachers! Good Diversity. But the test scores aren't always the best which is more the kids at the school than the teachers.

Middle School Student: I am a student at HMS and I thing if it's an all around good school, for every less than exceptional teacher there, there will be one that absolutely excels at their job. Though some more involvement of parents and/or student's would be appreciated, it's a pretty good school.

Middle School Student: I loved being a Medinah Middle School student! I was involved in sports and had supportive teachers that pushed me to do my best. Some of the teachers did slack but still, they cared about all the students and wanted them to excel. Lunches could be healthier, but I attended 7 years ago so I can hope they got better. Safety wise - great area and they added extra doors to secure the building in the front which is a wonderful addition.

Westmont Junior High School

• 2 reviews

Parent: I have one graduate from WJHS and one currently enrolled and I could not be more pleased. The classes are small, giving attention to students that is so valuable and my students feel as if they are getting personal attention. The staff is incredibly kind and giving of their time. WJHS also has a required volunteerism aspect for graduation and I applaud it. Students volunteer within the community and learn the value of helping within the community. My children have learned so much from this opportunity. The school admin is attentive to my students needs and we cannot say enough good things about them. Highly recommend WJHS for people looking for a quality school that is not overwhelming in size.

This school deserves to be #1 and all the hardworking students and teachers deserve to be commended for their exellence and service to the community.
