For a higher property tax driven school that is often sending letter's with their hand out begging for money, it offer's very little positive things to say. The administration does not handle bullying, let alone handle it well. The curriculum is weak and there is no drive to challenge the kids acade
Posted by a parent on 8/14/2019This school was terrible. It has bullying issues even though they were such a young age and it has terrible disciplinary problems. Finished in 2015 and going to middle school, but the food was like it came fresh out of the trash. The bullying problems was extremely emotionally harmful. The disciplin
Posted by a community member on 7/29/2018Ever since the new principal took over, things have gone downhill quickly. She does not answer emails or return phone calls. If she does ever communicate with you, it's with a fake smile and empty promises. She doesn't keep parents informed about anything at all. I cannot wait to leave this school d
Posted by a community member on 12/6/2016This school has done nothing but go down hill in the past 4 years. What was once a great school is now mediocre at best. For the most part the teachers are great, but there are at least a couple in each grade that don't belong in that grade level, teachers that just don't care . This is largely in

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWorst elentary school ever. They keep the bar extremely low. My child learns little to nothing. His teacher and the principal both said that spelling does not matter. That happens to be the subject my son needs help with. Just astonishingly, woefully underwhelming. Just awful.Parent Review3y ago - Troy Shorewood School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience with Holy Family school was not a pleasant one. Many of the teachers are overwhelmed with too many students in one small classroom. The school does not provide support for kids who are not doing well academically and if these kiddos do not do well the school lets them go. The Principal of this school is indifferent; he just cares about making money. The superintendent will place you in a school based on your race and ethnicity. The school they recommended for me is in Joliet St. Mary's Nativity school because 90% of them are Hispanic and latino students. They didn't care that I live more than 16 miles from the school.Parent Review1y ago - St Mary Immaculate Parish School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had a horrible experience with our young children at this school. I would recommend looking elsewhere for Catholic education, if possible. The principal is repeatedly deceitful to parents and often rude as she covers for her inability to fix BIG issues with teachers and students. Communication is very limited unless you are parent buddies with the administrators. Younger kids in preK and kindergarten are being bullied as the staff and administrators cannot seem to control the behavior of the students. The first few months of attending seemed to be good for our family until we tried meeting the parents that are fake and unwelcoming. These snobby parents are involved in Home and School as well as the Athletic Board so they have soooo much control over what happens and how their children get favored in every way. I know that no school is perfect and that all have issues, but this school is really in need of help. This is not what I had hoped for in a Catholic School. The pastor who supposedly is in charge of the school does not take time to meet with parents or address issues going on in the school. He has all the power but simply does not care. It's so unfortunate!Parent Review4y ago - Bonnie Mcbeth Learning Center
