Ellsworth is truly a wonderful school nestled in the heart of the Historic District that offers a small school experience in an urban environment. I currently have three children at Ellsworth and we love it. The small class sizes mixed with excellent teachers, an outstanding principal and kind students sets this school apart from the rest. Truly a quality academic experience and a close community connection!

Ellsworth is a great school with small class sizes and involved parents and teachers. We feel so lucky to have our children grow up in this school!

Wonderful school! Only two or three of a grade, rather than 4 or 5, so this way the kids get to know each other well. Your child can be known by everyone there, and I think that makes this school extra friendly. The kids are very kind and inclusive. And if your child needs extra help in school, there is great support staff and a lot of help is given. There is a before and after school program that is affordable. The bus transports kids from Springhill subdivision. This whole town is expensive to live in, but no matter what neighborhood, parents live there for the education and are willing to pay extra for that. Most families take education very seriously and teach their kids a lot at home as well.

Like the rest of Naperville, the kids and parents are all about education. The kids are there to learn, and if a child needs help, they really work to get them caught up. It's a cozy school with a lot of support and continuity for the kids. Mine love it!

I had two children go through Ellsworth and treasure the experience. Excellent, caring staff, and because it's only two sections a grade, it's like a big extended family.

They don't make schools like Ellsworth anymore. This small school is a real community with an amazing staff. I am so grateful my kids and my family are a part of this school

Teachers at Ellsworth take an interest in each student's education and individual needs. They quickly help each student adapt to each advancing grade and help each student unlock his or her potential. The teachers are warm, friendly and professional. The teachers provide feedback on my children's performance in each subject and give them goals to strive to reach every week.
