St Bernadettes School For Spec Educ

It’s regular school like other public schools

Great school. Love that it's both a neighborhood and magnet school. Great enthusiastic teachers. Involved and responsive principal. Community is lacking racial diversity but teachers work at including materials so students can learn more other's experiences. Love the IB curriculum.

My daughter has attended this school since K3 and she loves it. The teachers she has had over the last few years are kind, caring, and have done a wonderful job educating her. For multiple years in a row my child has placed in the high 90th percentile on state standardized tests across almost every category. I’m honestly shocked to see some of these negative reviews but I also know the school has drastically changed over the last few years. They are accredited now and no longer use the same tactics as before.

Excellent school. Great family like community. The teachers are top-notch and really care about the children. The teachers and administration are all very approachable and work to ensure a great experience for all of the children. The school is growing and it is an exciting time to be here. There are many fun events throughout the year where families can get involved and hang out. The sports program is very good and starts from teaching even the youngest kids about the various sports with the Junior Jaguars program. There is also a buddy program where older students are paired with younger ones to help mentor them and make them feel like part of the school family. The curriculum is very good and there is 1/1 technology for the students which helps with a more tailored learning experience based on your student's strengths. We are very happy with SJB!

I highly recommend St. Andrews Lutheran School in Park Ridge! All three of my children attended. The two graduates were well-prepared for high school and life. The school is small, so students receive a lot of teacher attention and are known by everyone. There is such a warm, family atmosphere at the school! My kids emerged from St. Andrews with a strong moral compass and a firm academic foundation, especially in math, public speaking, and German. All three participated in sports (cross country, track, basketball, volleyball, and cheerleading). I can't say enough about the sports program at St. Andrews. The program gave my children a chance to excel, learn how to function as part of a team, make close friends, and even participate in state meets! I highly recommend taking a tour if you are looking for a school. We love St. Andrews Lutheran School! I think you will, too!

We don’t have all the words to say how exceptional St Mary of the Woods School is. We have sent all four of our children to SMOW and have loved being a part of the school and parish community. St. Mary of the Woods embraces the whole family. It is a wonderful, caring community that puts our children first. The school is rich in tradition. There are weekly all-school Masses, musical concerts, and sporting events. There is something for every child-sports, music, and fine arts. We love the caring teachers and staff who have guided our children through learning and faith. We highly recommend St. Mary of the Woods.
