GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school is vastly better than Kensington School (private school) and the teachers are fantastic! This school is a true gem in Arlington Heights.

The counselors are amazing, but bullying is rampant at this school. The kids are pretty awful. They are awful to each other. Wearing orange once a month has had little impact on these kids; they need feedback for their bullying—but the school is terrible at addressing it.
