Reply #8: I asked my daughter about those schools. [View All]

Her partner and partner's sister went to Catholic school rather than public school. They lived right on the border of District 102.

They said that everyone in the area who could afford it did that rather than public school. The Catholic schools in the area are huge.

Not good on many levels,huh? We all need to support public schoools so they are as good as the private institutions, instead of fleeing.

Anyway, the younger sister was allowed to start school early and have her needs met in private school. The public schools would not allow this.

They did not think the public schools there were good. Remember, this was ten years ago, and things may have changed. They live in Hinsdale now.

I would still say to try their PTA group, and look at their school report card. I believe in supporting public schools. Work with the principal and teachers. Talk to the school board. Good luck.
