THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE DRESS CODE IS, THEY ARE LITERALLY DRESS CODING KIDS OVER PLAIN WHITE SHIRTS WHICH IS PART OF THE DRESS CODE AND THEY ARE DOING SATURDAY SCHOOL. DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE
Posted by a parent on 8/21/2025Staff are really nice and care about the kids. Leadership is awful. Students are allowed to use horrible language towards other students, staff and teachers. Behaviors are out of control. Very little learning is happening in tgis building. This district moves teachers to different classes, different
Posted by a teacher on 10/3/2024I've went to this school and had the best times every. This school is mostly based off its students and how they act, but looking closer at the students who work hard and try it'll give you a different opinion.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is excellent. Teachers are committed and innovative. My grandson just finished kindergarten here and has been at or near the top of his class all year. The teacher had all kinds of things for them to do as a group and individually and sent home a book at the end of the year with photos of your child participating in all the group activities they had done all year - Valentine's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and lots of fun art projects, pageants, etc. He is more than ready for 1st grade!Parent Review7y ago - Steuben Elementary School

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUnfortunately, Mark Twain falls under bad leadership. The school is poorly organized, poorly run, and chaotic. The school lacks resources to make a meaningful impact on the students it serves.Teacher Review8y ago - Bishop Mcnamara Catholic High School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two young children who attend St. Joe and LOVE it. Their teachers challenge them while encouraging them. The focus is on the development of all aspects of my children - not just the academics. I have also enjoyed the sense of community that is present. Whether at the school or out in the community, children, older and younger, are always stopping to say, "Hi" when they see my kids and my kids know who they are! The class sizes are perfect. My family just loves St. Joseph and cannot say enough good things about it! I am also so appreciative of the new principal and all the wonderful things that he has added to the school.Other Review10y ago - Grace Christian Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been a part of the Grace family for over 25 years. If you're looking for a low teacher to student ratio, if you're looking for college prep courses, if you're looking for athletic opportunities, if you're looking for a school who cares about your student - look to 2499 Waldron Rd., Kankakee.Other Review4y ago - Kankakee Trinity Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI could not be happier or prouder that my two children attend KTA. The staff is caring and devoted to their students and each other. My needs as a parent have always been addressed and the school has shown a great willingness to work with those needs. The class room education is a very good one and I feel that my children will be entering the world with a definite advantage.Parent Review8y ago - L W C Academy
