Kildeer Countryside Elementary School

My 6 year old goes here for kindergarten. When she starts she was already read, write knows basic math. Whole year nothing improved academically, whole year she trace her own name. This is unbelievable. She complained about learning nothing and nothing existed there, doesn’t want to go. The papers, works she brings from school is just waste of papers and time nothing could learn from. I feel sorry for my kid. Better to update, improve their curriculum.

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.
