My school is it good learning but when my son step into Russian class, Teaching became are not great
Posted by a parent on 5/7/2025My daughter love this school. Teacher are very knowledgeable and kind.
Posted by a parent on 11/26/2023Excellent! This is the second year for my son and he is happy and he is learning! Friendly and safe environment.
Posted by a parent on 9/9/2019I was pretty worried when I saw the scores from kilmer. My son is advanced and young for his grade. But we have had no problems at kilmer. I think my son will be all the better for having gone to a school with such diversity. My son is about to enter 5th grade now, he is still advanced, kind
Posted by a parent on 5/30/2018I agree, don't let the test scores fool you! Kilmer has some AMAZING teachers and some amazing families. The receptionist (we love her) and the principle (she's new as of 2014 and great) are so kind and welcoming.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe 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.Parent Review1y ago - Eugene Field Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe 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.Parent Review9mo ago - Torah Academy
