Read what parents are saying about Orland Park Elementary SchoolOverall this school has been great compared to our private pre-school. The principal & staff do a great job getting the kids excited for school and keeping them excited about learning and showing kindness throughout the year!
Posted by a parent on 10/2/2023to send my child to this school was the worst decision i have made,child downgraded academically and socially.
Posted by a parent on 8/10/2018My oldest daughter has had really great teachers here and has exceled (according to standardized testing she is in the top 5% in Illinois for math and reading). She has since moved on to the middle school (3-5). My youngest daughter (middle child) is starting 1st grade, she had a wonderful experience with her kindergarten teacher.Unfortunately the school district and principal are no longer honoring teacher requests (ie would love for my second child to have the same teachers as oldest). Apparently, this is too much to ask the principal or district as they have purposefully gone against our request and put her with another teacher, whom I'm sure is great. However, schools/teachers/principals want parents to be involved, and we are in volunteering both our time (two working parents) and money (fundraisers) to Park school. My wife and I are always at school helping out and volunteering when they need volunteers. I feel this is a slap in the face to those parents who are involved in their child's education (we all SHOULD be). So if you want to be involved and have children that do well, this is probably not the school for you. Your efforts to be involved (as teachers often blame parents who aren't for the child's weaknesses) will most certainly go unwelcome. I mean who would know better than a parent which teacher would be good for their child...no, not even the teacher who suggested your child would do well with the requested teacher.....the principal obviously {extreme sarcasm intended}, who has never been involved with your child on a day-to-day basis.This is just one of many things the district is doing to alienate parents. Oh...and we are Cook County so you will definitely be paying in taxes for this "leadership" in the school and district. Again, great teachers, but who knows where we are headed with the new administration and policies.
Posted by a parent on 8/15/2017Best school ever!!! Amazing principal, teachers and staff!!! They are welcoming, personable and genuine. They couldn't have done a better job finding great people! The school is also ran well. Great school and I would highly recommend it.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat place to be if you are affluent. Otherwise, senior staff doesn't seem to care as much if they don't get nice Christmas gift cards. If you're one of the oddballs out in Palos Park, you won't bode well here. Building is nice and they are well funded, was pleased with how they handled but COVID but the racial disparities are bothersome. One teacher got let go because she called out another on their racism! Sad. Hope they do better, possibly with change of admin (?).Parent Review1y ago - Misol Montessori Pre-School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI moved my kids to Christian Hills School in Orland Hills, IL in 2021 - during the pandemic, It’s the best thing I did for my kids! The Christian values and a great education are exceptional. My daughter was 6 months behind when we got to the school, but now she is doing amazing. And my son is doing excellent. From the teachers to the staff to the principle - they empower these kids and lift them up. At the awards ceremony they Recognize EVERY child with an award of some sort and makes that child feel important. From the staff making the parents feel welcome, to helping the kids with anything they need, The Christian Values, curriculum and support since we have been there has made our overall experience amazing. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for an amazing Christian school for their child.Parent Review1mo ago - St Michael School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFantastic academics! My children love the friendships they have mad and the traditions that they keep. St. Mikes School has excellent teachers who care about the students and go the extra mile to help the students achieve even when struggling. They are always kind and ready to go the extra mile!Parent Review2mo ago - Kindercare Learning Center
