Favoritism is definitely a thing at this school, many teachers here are good and able to be worked with but the other teachers just take out all of your energy and drain you of any life you have while at the school. Teachers are also sure to keep the grudges they hold. Safety isn't amazing considering multiple students could leave at a time and no teacher would ask any question, one time a 2nd grader even left the school grounds and teachers AND students had to go looking for him

Over all it's a good school. The teachers are very hands on and willing to help if the students need it, which is great. On the downside though since it's a very small school there's no room for more diverse sports, more clubs, more activities, AP classes, driver's ED, etc etc. This school is best suited for grades preschool-7th grade, not high schoolers.

The teachers are very nice and always willing to help with whatever you need. Personally I've struggled in the past with my math classes and so the teachers and I were able to work out time that I could come in and work on it one on one. The students are also very kind. Since it is a small school everyone is like family. We are all super close and everyone loves each other.

My son attended first grade last year and I was very impressed how well he improved coming from the North Chicago School District.

All my three kids go to school here. It is a great school. The curriculum is christian based. The teachers work very hard and are also very dedicated.. Yes, they expect the parents to be involved a lot and if the parents expects the teacher to substitute their role, the parents will be disappointed....
