An excellent school…read more Note: I am a St. Viator alum, class of 2001. I had an excellent education at this school, and would recommend it to everyone. Class sizes are somewhat small, and for the most part, the faculty is great. During my time as a student, I found the faculty to be very caring. They work hard to make sure every student excels. This is something I think helped to turn me around from an average student in Freshman year to a great student with a passion for learning in my Senior year. One thing to be aware of: this school has a mandatory drug testing policy for all students starting in Fall 2007.

Like George, I graduated from SVHS in 2001. I absolutely loved every minute of my time there. The…read morefaculty was outstanding and the curriculum made me incredibly prepared for college. I think the most noteworthy thing about this school is that alumni stick together. I hang out with tons of Viator people all the time. I even married one. It's really crazy how a small school can bring kids from all over the Chicagoland area together and they stay friends for life. I'd like to be able to send my own kids to Viator someday...

I may be biased, being the Class of 2001 President and a Debate Coach, but I firmly believe that…read moreJohn Hersey High School is the best high school. As a student, I can attest that I received a world class education. Beyond that, the athletics and extra-curricular activities that are offered there not only enhance the in-class experience but can give you opportunities that can be more valuable than what you learn in the classroom. As an employee and coach, I can tell you that the teachers and staff are some of the most caring and dedicated professionals that I have ever worked with. The school works hard everyday to live up to the high standards that they have set for themselves. There is a reason that John Hersey High School is consistently ranked as one of the best high schools in Illinois and the United States. I highly recommend John Hersey High School!

Went here for high school and I am grateful for all the wonderful opportunities and education I…read morereceived here. Many years later, I still remember many of the lessons my teachers had taught me in math, science, choir, drivers ed, and other subjects. They were always a little tough on grading and pushed a bit harder for critical thinking and understanding rather than memorizing a subject. This came in use for college when many tests consisted of short answer and essay questions instead of simply reciting memorized facts. One of the best parts of going to school here was the robust activities program. From chess to newspaper to choir, there were always plenty of opportunities to enrich ones learning before, during, and after the school day. This was an invaluable way to learn new skills and make new friends while learning from highly qualified mentors. Palatine High School is a great high school that really prepares students well for success later in life.

So anyways they are a rich school and that was nice, and like the other review said their water pool is BRRR. Also I smashed my chin on the water going from the high-dive, and it hurt really bad and I ALMOST cried. Chomba then held me and said "there there", so it was luckily all good. The teachers are kinda cool as the mean, but taking the average it is SUPER LOW. That tells you that there are mostly good teachers, but the ones that suck, SUCK SO BAD OMG. Like this one chem teacher screamed at my friend that she couldnt use the bathroom, like bruh was she so fat she didn't know what a period is like anymore????

The only thing chiller than the school is the pool water, that stuff's chilly. Yelp is telling me…read morethis review is too short but PHS has taught me better.

For the 2 year old students they even have a special outdoor play area with smaller slides and toys for that age group that both of my daughters have enjoyed! Their outdoor space and playground for the prek3 and older students is fantastic too (lots of swings and slides!) and I always felt my kids were getting such a great mix of education as well as fun outdoor time at school. Utilizing sensory bins, painting, motor room, etc. my kids have enjoyed so many fun and educational activities at this school. We have had excellent teachers for the past 4 years we have been here! Even with a child with food allergies I felt very supported by the staff including her in snacks/activities and checking in with me occasionally when needed to make sure she could be included. Even more recently St. Peter has allowed students to bring their own snacks in to accommodate the many food allergies children have nowadays. Ms. Cummins by far has been the best teacher we have ever had. She updates parents daily through the school's app (which not all teachers do!) and I always feel that I know what my child is doing at school by her fantastic communication. Anytime I have questions about something and email her she gets back to me immediately. My family has been so lucky to have her for 2 of our children. She is the most passionate, knowledgeable and caring teacher. Both of my children have learned SO much and grown by being in her class, I will forever be grateful! I would highly recommend this school to anyone in Arlington Heights and the northwest suburbs of Chicago area.

Both my boys had the same 2's teacher since that's how St. Peter does it. We have been so happy and blessed and honestly this teacher is as wonderful as they come. An absolute blessing. I was actually surprised to see another review as we had the exact opposite with that teacher. Mrs. Cummins is honestly a blessing and one of the most amazing teachers. She is the reason we never considered any other option for our second child. She has embraced all the difficulties he has had in this being his first exposure to school. She is openly communicative with all the parents and kids and I can speak for the other moms in the class as well we feel we hit the jackpot with her. When any issues arise she discusses them and works with us to find a solution that best fits our child, us and finally her. Our older son has Mrs. Grissom this year and he is thriving because of her. She treats the kids with kindness, love, and teaches them confidence. My older son was always more nervous in the school settings but she has really helped him blossom. Not only are the preschool teachers amazing but the staff is so incredibly kind and loving. They know your kids by name and ask how everyone is doing. Feeling this level of care has kept us at St. Peter. You can choose anywhere for your child to go but St. Peter has always been accommodating and caring.
