This school is wonderful! The kids are able to learn in a way that engages them and provokes curiosity and creativity. My second grader can do long division, and my pre-k kid used the word frigid to describe the weather. They are learning to embrace other cultures around the world and to think outsi
Posted by a parent on 1/27/2018My son has attended this school since he was four years old. I have been very pleased over the past years. It is an exceptional public Montessori school: the teachers are using the Montessori materials, three age groups are in the classroom, it is child-centered and friendly. I have been very thankf
Posted by a parent on 12/5/2014This school is beneficial for some children and families but it's definitely not for everyone. We had a negative experience, unfortunately as we had heard many positive things about it. The program has grown over the last few years and although it tries hard to follow the Montessori philosophy it is

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is our first year at Rockford Lutheran Academy, and we are extremely happy we made the change. The school academically is far above the others in the area. This was obvious from the first Maps test my daughter was given as a way for them to see where she was academically when registering. As a bonus, she was one of the kids who scored highest on her testing date and got a little scholarship. It wasn't much, but with private schools every dime helps.She is in 4th and tested into 5th grade reading and math and has had straight A's all year. Unfortunate that her prior school did nothing to challenge her. This school truly monitors the children's progress and if they need help, they get it and if they are advanced they get challenged.They also listen to your concerns when they arise and are a community (ie. not afraid of parents coming through their doors). Just wish we had made the change sooner!Parent Review4y ago - Holy Family Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe community is so amazing. All the parents are friendly and involved. The teachers are kind and keep a very open line of communication with parents. I feel very blessed to be sending 2 children here and feel very at home in our parish.Parent Review3y ago - Spectrum School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Spectrum Community is based upon collaboration between everyone. I mean from the President to the Janitor, the parent to the grandparent, the child to the volunteer, everyone is brought together for the sole purpose of molding a mind into a lifelong lover of learning. Send your kids here, and they will become the best that they can be!Other Review3y ago - Christian Life Center School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageChristian Life Schools has become more than just a school for my family. The sense of community is unlike anything. When we first started, my child attended prek3 part time. Within 2 months, she was begging us to send her there full time. This fall will be our 4th year at CLS. The teachers and the staff make you feel like you are at home and their is an integration of the high school students and the elementary students. I always recommend CLS to friends looking for a private school for their child because I truly believe if it wasn’t for CLS our child would be a different child than she is today. She is kind, caring and loves Jesus so much.Parent Review1y ago - Rockford Lutheran School
