My experience at Willows Preparatory School has been significantly different from the supportive environment I anticipated. While the school operates under the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework, the current execution of this curriculum appears to prioritize a high volume of assignments over
Posted by a student on 1/11/2026Woah I had saved my $100,000 and enrolled our child in another school. Low reading math and science standards… no sports music or extracurricular activities charges and fees outrageous not a pencil or an eraser provided.
Posted by a parent on 1/7/2026We have been pleased with our child's experience at Willows Prep. The school provides a good educational environment that balances academic rigor with creative and personal development. The academic program at school offered both challenging core subjects and a choice of electives. We appreciate the
Posted by a parent on 11/1/2025We regret spending over $30,000 per year for 5 years—money that could have been saved for college. This school is not academically on par, and our child only kept up thanks to private tutors.Teacher turnover is extremely high, and the culture is negative. As parents, we never felt welcome to meet wi
Posted by a parent on 9/20/2025The academic structure at Willows is impressive. The school blends high expectations with meaningful support, creating a space where students are both challenged and encouraged.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI really wanted to love this school but since Mr. DeGallier left it has gone down hill drastically. Instead of lifting disadvantage kids up they take away everything from all the students to make things equal. A lot of parents have given up and left the school and it sad to see. They often dismiss the parents they looks for a quick fix. It feels like they care more about numbers and stats and not at all about the kids.Parent Review1y ago - Springhurst School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been attending this school since kindergarten and is now in 1st grade, and we’ve had a wonderful experience so far. The teachers are truly amazing and make learning fun and engaging for the kids. Academically, the students learn a great deal and are well ahead of grade level, which we really appreciate.The teachers are also highly supportive and create a very friendly environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged. The school does a great job of making sure kids are challenged while still having fun. In addition, students get to learn Spanish and Japanese, which is fantastic exposure at a young age. The school also offers weekly music and Zumba classes, giving children a great balance of academics and extracurricular activities. We’re very happy to be part of this school community.Parent Review3mo ago - Northern Lights Montessori School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is currently in 3rd grade at Northlake Academy and has been a student there since kindergarten. My daughter is currently also at Northlake, is in 1st grade, and has been there since Pre-K. Our family has been extremely impressed by Northlake due to its (1) teacher student ratio of 2 teachers for approximately 15 or less students; (2) advanced curriculum in math, reading/writing and science which tends to run a year or two ahead of public schools; (3) supportive, safe and fun environment for learning where our kids feel comfortable to explore ideas; (4) many offered extracurricular activities including dance, piano/music, 2 foreign languages and art. In addition, the school is year round and the tuition includes before and after school care. The price is very reasonable when compared to competitive schools. You get so much for the price. We are very happy here and will continue on through 5th grade knowing that Northlake will provide our kids every resource they need to have a successful scholastic experience and reach their potential. We highly recommend it.Parent Review2y ago - Northern Lights Montessori
