Buffalo Grove High School

We have been in Tarkington for 4 years. The teachers and staff go out of their way to make sure each child is thriving. We have IEP’s and feel like our children’s needs are met and they are progressing with the help of dedicated staff. The school makes sure there are events that take place after school that encourage family togetherness. We really love it at Tarkington and will be sad when our time here is over.

I think the posted rating is unrealistically low. Longfellow has become a top-tier elementary school. The administration and teaching staff are exceptional. The school has abundant dedicated resources for children of all ages and needs. Many of the sup[ort staff are the finest i have encountered in over forty years of having students in school. Yes, forty. I am currently raising the next generation as well...:)

Very good school, my daughter has enjoyed it very much. Wonderful experience.

My school is it good learning but when my son step into Russian class, Teaching became are not great

We live in Long Grove and send our kids to St. Mary’s. My only complaint is that not more families realize the value that you will get by sending your child/children to this school. Academically, the school excels- even among very high quality surrounding schools. Test scores are consistently high, class sizes are small allowing for significant personal attention and the teachers and staff are there because they care. Community was very important to us when choosing a school and being at St. Mary’s and part of this community has been incredible- not only have our children made great friends in a short time, but we also have made life-long friends. The families that are part of St. Mary’s are welcoming, fun and kind. All around, this school is a special place.
