5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis was the worst school of my 3 years. I was only looking forward to graduating from this school because I couldn’t handle the trouble that lead to this drama at our school. When I met the assistant principal she was a little nice, but she started to have a pessimistic attitude towards me and the other students because she kept seeing too many cell phones, and students in the hallway without a pass, when most of them were damaged or broken. Also, some of my teachers ignored the behavior where someone was using slurs and insults to make fun of religion and culture, so I felt very uncomfortable of being in that classroom. My recommendation would be to take your child’s education at another school because this school made me very uncomfortable for the past 3 yearsOther Review1mo ago - Willard Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall Willard has an inclusive atmosphere, which I liked. However the staff was a bit cliquey for my tastes. There is not support for new personnel, even though they say they do. They will let you drown under the massive amount of work and then when you're at your breaking point they say "hey let's try to support you" but by then it's too late. The senior SPED "mentor" was arrogant and unhelpful, and spoke ill of other personnel to the children. I would not recommend working there unless you're completely ready to find everything on your own with no help.Teacher Review9mo ago - Evanston Twp High School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe've been so happy with ETHS. Coming from a small middle school we were wondering how the transition to be a big school would go. It was very smooth. The school does so many events for 8th graders to get them comfortable and is very communicative with parents. There are so many clubs and activities to choose from that all kids really have an opportunity to find a good fit. PE includes a swim unit and they get to swim in the school's very nice pool. At parent-teacher conferences I was so happy with all the staff, they've been so great.Parent Review5mo ago
