St. Jerome Catholic School is wonderful and welcoming environment for students and families. The school has a great history of over 100 years, but is also growing-- there are currently two campuses and a new gym is being built. Strong academics provide an excellent foundation for high school and the teachers work hard to meet the needs of all students.

I have 2 boys who currently attend 1st and 4th grade. They LOVE it and I love how they have a low student-to-teacher ratio. My boys do very well academically there largely in part to the teachers being highly accessible and involved. They had gone to a CPS school before with about 30 kids in class. I prefer this to the crazy CPS curriculum any day!! St. Jerome is VERY family-friendly and focuses on teaching kids the basics- reading, cursive, math, and science without the social or political agendas you see so much in public schools now.

St Jerome is an amazing school that will be celebrating 100 years of Catholic education in 2022. The culture and environment, on top of academics and a solid administration, has proven itself over and over in the amazing children who have graduated.

I have two boys at St. Jerome, going into 5th and 2nd. This is our second year and I am VERY happy with the school. Academically, I feel they are really being challenged. I am a big fan of the curriculum-they teach the common sense, fundamentals that kids need without all the nonsense public schools...

We have been proud and happy to be a part of the St Jerome family. Our child is excelling in all subjects and the teachers really take the time to make sure the students are grasping the lesson that they are teaching.

There have been major, positive changes to this school in recent years. A new principal was brought in who was formerly a school superintendent, so things are moving in a very positive direction. Leadership is strong & any discipline issues are dealt with swiftly and effectively. They have demolishe...
