Current Resident: Germantown Hills is a small, safe community with friendly neighbors. Most of the community lives in newer homes. There are neighborhood watches and block parties for all to enjoy and feel comforted by. Most things are within walking distance. Newer cross-walks over main roadways have been implemented to promote safety for bikers, runners and children. New side-walks have been built to accommodate locals. There is a local small shopping center with Subway, Dollar General, Chinese food, Ace Hardware, Cefcu bank, Casey’s convenient store, another small bank and gas station. Local parks, and baseball fields. More business’ exist across the street in the same area.... Read 8 reviews

Current Resident: No community is perfect, and each community has its flaws. That being said, Morton is one of those communities that isn't perfect but is a community that is always willing to work on its flaws. Before living in Morton, I had lived in other communities that never took pride or a sense of ownership in their town. Unlike other towns, Morton has a sense of pride in their community. We all do our best to take care of each other, whether we know each other or not. I love how Morton includes and listens to the people in the town. With daily town meetings and with our Morton Facebook group, peoples complaints and issues in our community are heard and taken care of by those in charge. This town never stops improving itself for the better of our community and does everything to maintain the peace around here. There is nothing that I would want to change in my community....

Senior: I have been a student here since Lower School (elementary school) and I am currently a Senior. The opportunities provided in education, art, music, athletics, community, leadership, research, and more are simply incredible. Flint Hill has allowed me to join several clubs and become a leader of multiple. I am in the Spanish Honor Society, International Thespian Society, Major Minors A Capella group, and more. I have been given this amazing opportunity through their spectacular financial aid resources. If I could rate the school any higher, I would give it a 100,000/5!... Read 89 reviews

Former Resident: I lived in Pekin many years ago and my husband and I just bought a house and moving back there. I am often in Pekin and enjoy the parks some nice places to eat, wish they'd clean up rt 29 it is awful but the south side is looking better all the time. I know Pekin has issues like any midsize town but overall their are many good people in Pekin and the stigma their racist is lies. I prefer a Conservative area and Pekin is just that, overall I believe its a pretty decent place to live especially affordable since Il is a tax state! I like how easy it is to get from one point to another, 11 miles from Peoria which is good for shopping etc. Pekin needs more entertainment less bars. Pekin is a good place with decent law enforcement and churchs . Some schools could do better but private schools are nice! Overall I'd rate Pekin at a B .... Read 52 reviews

Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student.... Read 11 reviews
