8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNew Trier high school is full of students who bully others relentlessly. The administration sweeps all sorts of problems under the rugs. They really only care about students who are athletes and parents who donate money. Many move here because of the schools. Our family can’t wait to leave because of how awful the administration and teachers have treated my children.Parent Review3mo ago - New Trier Township H S Northfield

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe regret sending our kids to Marie Murphy. Although our kids had a few outstanding teachers and classes, in most classes they were bored and learned very little. Marie Murphy does not differentiate teaching or curriculum for students who learn faster or slower. I've heard from a number of parents that the special education services are bad. It's a poorly managed school and school district. Our kids and their friends hated it.Parent Review4y ago - Avoca West Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child loves Avoca West and so do I. The teachers are great, attentive, knowledgeable. The children loves them. The before and after care program is great also. They spend a lot of time outdoor and I really like that. The staff is very welcoming.Parent Review1y ago
