Peoria Heights Grade School

My three sons attend this school. Two of my boys are doing fantastic with their teachers, but my other son isn't. He has a behavioral problem. We as parents have tried getting the teacher to refer him for an IEP especially since she treats him as if he's nothing but a problem for her. We've done everything in our power at home to help him and he comes home to tell us a teacher calls us bad parents. Even after speaking with the superintendent about it there doesn't seem to be much change. I'm afraid to send him to school at this point because the teachers only seem to care about the kids that are easy for them to handle. If your child is having emotional problems or academic problems or special needs. This is not the school you want to send them to.

No other school will care about your kids more. We are lucky enough to have our child attend this school, where the staff is top-notch and cares about the development of your child in every aspect. This is a small, close-knit community where you will be on a first-name basis with the whole school, unlike many public schools. If you want to do the best thing for your kids, send them here.

In my experience, I felt that I was almost targeted when I went there as I was blamed for many things and nobody seemed to just let me be me, if I were sending my kid to a school in the area, this would not be on the list. They also do make up a lot of questionable rules even for the littles things. Lastly I feel that the school really favors girls over boys, when I was at the school, if the girls were being loud in class or saying some really rude things to others, the teachers would let it slide. For boys it was completely different, being that if we were to do one bad thing the teachers would make it a big deal and reslly it made me not want to come back to the school on my last year. Like I said some of the teachers are not the best but there are some that are actually pretty good.

St Vincent’s has always been my home ! My sister was the first baby girl baptized there My kids my grandkids as myself attended church and school there! My children and l even had a few of the same teachers ! I thank God for the blessing of my church and l pray that my children and grandchildren love,believe,and respect and adore ! We’re children are taught at home first then school!

We love this school! It’s small but mighty- the teachers are warm and wonderful.

We've had a terrible situation with this school. My daughter has adhd and cannot focus sitting still. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that, however the school made us think that she had mental issues/was psychotic. In 7th grade we took her out of this terrible teaching system and she's now homeschooled and getting 100%s in every class. This school also has no black / Hispanic teachers and has said no to accepting some black students. Insanely overpriced and definitely not worth your time in applying. Find somewhere better.
