7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFantastic group of administration and staff that approach this diverse population to the maximum of their ability. Keep that in mind when just crunching numbers and looking at test scores. Des Plaines, just like most of the northern suburban school districts are very skewed towards the haves and the have lots. What makes Iroquois so special is the fact that they embrace diversity and help everyone just the same, no matter what the background or circumstances. The school community is amazing and, for this school district one of a kind. As with any school, education begins and ends at home. Stay active and it pays paramount, especially here.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere's much to like about this school but it just wasn't a right fit for us. Our main complaint is that while the school seems to do a good job of making sure all the students are meeting minimum standards, the school doesn't have much to offer kids who exceed the standards and require additional academic challenges. When we tried to speak to teachers and the principle about this concern we were made to feel like a nuisance.Other Review10mo ago - Maine West High School
