We have lived here for over 8 years and we have been very impressed with the quality of education. The teachers are excellent. The student body is diverse with 50% Asian students and parents are involved. The small class sizes are ideal. I felt compelled to write this review when I read one of the other one star reviews which made no sense. Majority of the parents I know are actively involved with their kids lives. I know of at least 10 families who are second generation families and everyone has a brother, sister or friend who is moving here. Highly recommended!

Extremely dedicated staff, diverse community where all thoughts are welcome, very involved parents and PTO, only school around that was able to deliver full in-person attendance in fall 2020 and beyond.

Very low... I wouldn’t recommend buying a house here just to go to this school - but, most do. A lot come in from Naperville : better schools and lower taxes. It’s a win/ win! Live in a house - don’t do anything to it ( invest in it as an example ) and sell when children acclimate and sell at a loss. School is spent - PTO is strong, and add a considerable amount of money and time. Majority of families are Muslim, Asian and other - both parents are professionals (Physicians, DR and specialists) that are gone 12 hours a day and expect a extended schooling experience.

It's a great school with dedicated teachers. My children are flourishing in its environment. It's a place where everyone knows the children by their first names, a kind and caring school.
