We moved from Chicago since our kids playground was a concert rooftop and was dangerous for our kids to be walking in busy street we are really happy in Byron and the school district #226 is the best the principal is available and really professional and love the community we feel really welcome and more myself since I'm from Mexico and I'm the minority on this community I recommended Byron school and the community!

I overall had a great experience besides few things like sports coaches, admin not being overly involved, and college readiness.
