Posted by a parent on 8/31/2022Outstanding learning environment which is what this community needs and other schools in the area should emulate their values and goals.
Posted by a parent on 8/27/2019My three are now preparing to graduate from high school (in Downers Grove!), and our experience at Whittier was outstanding.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter recently graduated from St. Joe's. She attended from kindergarten through 8th grade. What was most important to me was that when she took her high school placement test she scored exceptionally high and was able to take all available honors classes in high school. I also really appreciate the no-cut sports that begin in 5th grade. Getting kids on a team early is amazing. And St. Joe's girls volleyball was top notch. My daughter just made the high school team along with several other St. Joes graduates.Parent Review9mo ago
