Prairie Grove, IL 60012

Our daughter currently attends Prairie Ridge, and we could not be happier with her experience. The teachers at PR are absolutely wonderful! They challenge their students, provide support, and encourage out of the box thinking. The extra curricular opportunities are plentiful, and they encourage students to get involved. Students are supported in designing their high school experiences with lots of feedback from teachers and school counselors. We know our daughter will be well prepared for college, and we are thankful for all the opportunities she has had at PR.

Moving to this district has been the best decision we made for our son. The teachers go above and beyond, the administration is warm and responsive, and the parents truly care about being involved in the community. Even during the pandemic, the entire school was innovative and communicate ( including the PTO). I’m very pleased with PG and looking forward for my daughter to start Kindergarten.

I am the parent of four kids who have attended this school, with the oldest starting in 2009 and one still attending. This school is by far the best middle school in the Crystal Lake area and the primary reason I chose to purchase a home in this district in 1999. The administration, faculty and staff are actively involved in the academic success of the students and developing them into well-adjusted young adults. A definite advantage of this school is that it is part of a self-contained K-8 district with connected elementary and junior high schools on the same campus. The relatively small size of the student body ensures that every student is known by the principal and many of the faculty and staff members. This school feeds into Prairie Ridge High School (also a fantastic school) and several of the high school teachers have remarked that the Prairie Grove students tend to be better prepared when entering high school than their counterparts from the other feeder schools.
