Overall it's a really good school. Small enough for each student to be known by his/her teachers and by the school administration, yet large enough for the students to have a variety of opportunities to learn and grow. The culture here also has a "family" feel.
Posted by a principal on 9/3/2019Very disappointed due to lack of discipline when a bully pushes a teacher to strike another student in the face. Did not expel the student. So the other student was transferred out.Believed to be because the bully is the lead scorer on the BB team.The school was notified about the bullling in Decembe,did absolutely nothing
Posted by a community member on 1/17/2017My daughter has just finished her freshman year at Guerin and we are pleased .There is a definite air of encouragement, discipline and self evaluation present. My daughter is an artist/anime fan,drama fan and she feels right at home at Guerin.The campus is large and well organized.It feels warm and welcoming and the students are engaged with their classes.The teachers we have met so far have been caring and encouraging.There is support for students with learning disorders, the Barbara Welch Center, and Sullivan .The school feels like a launching pad for college with emphasis on self discipline.There is a fine athletic program track, volleyball, football,etc. We think the theater dept is a well organized.This year she had art classes taught by a hip and positive teacher.The support staff is always polite and encourage you to communicate with the teacher through edline . We look forward to her remaining years here and the religious education she is receiving since it is Catholic.The school also has a laptop program which enables the students to obtain their assignments and do work in an orderly fashion. No open campus for lunch and uniforms are mandatory except when indicated.
Posted by a parent on 6/9/2014i really really really really really really really really really really really strongly dislike this school.
Posted by a community member on 12/13/2013I am a senior at guerin, and going to Guerin was one of the best choices I've ever made. My neighborhood school is CPS school, and I'm so glad I didn't go there. My friends that go there can't stand it there, and they wish they were at Guerin. The classes are Guerin are very challenging, but if you need help you there are many options. I think learning a smaller environment is very good, and the teachers know you on a personal level. I highly recommend this school!

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI left the Chicago area for a better life in the suburbs. Yes, River Grove is quiet and there is always parking. Though the schools were terrible. Both kids were in advanced classes in 5th grade, my kids were learning 6th-grade work in Charter school. They came to Rhodes Elementary School and oh my gosh they were so behind in all subjects. My kids were too advanced for this school. My kids had to adjust to the way they were teaching. My kids qualified to be in advanced classes, but the teacher disagree because of their color and race. They didn't straightforwardly say it, but they said their scores were not high enough. Ha, their scores were 3rd in between all 5th grade from all 4 classes. I think that says enough. I heard many different stories from other parents about this school and why they were waiting for the school year to be over to transfer them from schools. They complained about color, race, bullying from teachers and students, and they also complained about how it was disgusting how the boys have to change from regular clothes to gym uniforms in a locker room and they are all naked and showering. I couldn't believe what they were saying. I had to see for myself. Well, guess what I also went through what those other parents were saying. Some parents told me that no one complains they just leave the school. There was one parent that was always on their behind. Later finding out that the school has video cameras in all sections of the school, but not all cameras work. So, we wouldn't have proof of what child was part of the bullying. This is stress on our children. I think this would be a good school if the principal and the vice principal did their jobs. Eliminate teachers that are not willing to teach.Parent Review1y ago - River Grove Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has an IEP and he is thriving at River Grove School. Mr Wiley, our school principal, and all of the teachers truly care about the students. Teachers constantly communicate and collaborate with parents whenever there are issues. My son will be graduating this year and I am sad to say goodbye to the RGS CommunityParent Review2y ago - Canty Elementary School
