The education at this school is the equivalent if not worse than community college. I am a freshman…read moreNursing major who plays tennis so our program is one of the few that is a good investment for the school due to clinical connections as early as sophomore year, but as far as the price that students who dorm have to pay, it is extremely far from worth it. Community colleges where you can complete your prerequisites like College of Dupage, Triton, or Chicago colleges would have been more beneficial to save money. I was expecting more student involvement and local organizations and activities, but it has dimmed my personal campus life aside from playing a sport. This school places a big emphasis on sports recruitment and it is primarily the reason why I am here along with the Nursing program, but diversity, sense of community, and campus events are lacking innovation or a truer sense of university life. It is a Lutheran college with closeted beliefs so I feel like I am being put in a bubble. I am Catholic so spiritually it is not far off, but it is not what I intend to practice. I was initially going to attend UIC but because they seldom direct admit, I would have to do pre-requisites and reapply sophomore year. I am planning to transfer after the spring semester to local universities with better diversity, student organizations, and better prices (where it is worth taking out a loan). The only good majors at this school are Nursing, Music, Theology, or Education. The gen-eds are so easy they are comparable to high school courses.

Triton College loves to flash their slogan: "There's a place for you." But for students like me,…read morethe truth is ugly -- there's no place here unless you're willing to be chewed up by their broken system and blamed for problems they created. I came to Triton determined to break cycles. I would've been the first person in my family to earn a degree. I worked my way down to just four classes away from finishing. Four classes from changing everything. But instead of support, Triton gave me roadblocks, mixed-up advising, and endless financial strain. I'm a full-time single mom. I work, I take care of my child, and I go without to make this education happen. I already live with food insecurity, already wonder how I'm going to pay bills and still make sure my kid eats. Every dollar and every hour matters. And still, Triton acts like none of that matters. Their advising system is a complete failure. You can ask three different staff members the same question and get three different answers. When you follow their guidance and it turns out to be wrong, the blame falls on you. Their mistakes become your bill -- extra classes, extra books, extra tuition. Time and money I couldn't afford to lose, gone, because they can't give consistent answers. They love to brag about resources and "access." But in reality, access here means limited hours, endless red tape, and confusing processes that make you feel trapped. When you ask for help, you get brushed off. Push harder, and you're treated like you're the problem. Meanwhile, the college has every system in place to protect themselves but none to protect the students. It's like Triton profits off students' confusion and desperation. They trap you into paying for classes you shouldn't need, charge you for their own mistakes, and leave you holding the blame. I've already skipped meals to pay for gas to get to class. I've already sacrificed sleep and time with my child to study. And still, Triton found a way to take more. On top of tuition and fees, I had to purchase the tools necessary for my program -- tools that should've been provided by a place of instruction. I spent money I didn't have just to participate in my own classes. Only after I submitted a formal complaint did Triton finally supply tools for students to use on site. That's not support -- that's neglect. And it proves that unless students speak up and fight, Triton won't take action. The stress this school has caused me isn't just about education -- it's about survival. I was so close to finishing, so close to being the first degree earner in my family, and Triton made it feel impossible. That's something I'll never forgive: they don't just block progress, they crush hope. And yet, I need to be clear -- not everyone at Triton is part of the problem. The only reason I haven't given up completely is because of Lena Musa and Kenneth Davis. They are the only two people in my program who treated me like my education and my life mattered. They gave real answers, real guidance, and real respect. Without them, Triton would've broken me completely. Triton College needs to stop selling slogans and start owning up to their failures. Students deserve support, not punishment. We deserve guidance, not confusion. We deserve a system that helps us succeed instead of one that bleeds us dry. Until that happens, Triton is not a place for you -- it's a place that will leave you broke, blamed, and broken.

After having to change schools due to closure after COVID and realizing that we did not make a good…read morechoice in that change, we made the decision to bring our children to St. Luke in the hopes that we would get the experience we were seeking. All I can say is I could kick myself for not coming here first. It has been nothing but a positive experience as a parent and a blessing for our daughters. From day one the students have been totally welcoming and lovely. Class size is half what it was at the other school and teachers are amazing. The staff and administration are very responsive and always looking to "do more" to make the school a better place. Parents have also been so friendly and inclusive. I highly recommend St. Luke to anyone asking a high quality education that combines important Christian values with academic excellence.

I initially fell in love with St. Luke School because of the environment and the Christian values…read morethat are part of the fiber of the community. There's safety and love that envelop the students as they walk in the door each morning. The love is given and received, and is almost easy to take for granted because it's just always there. The positive energy in the classrooms is due to the teachers and staff who have chosen to teach in a Catholic school almost as a vocation, as well as the children whose families have chosen this school. As a reading specialist and elementary and middle school classroom teacher, my trust deepened as I recognized the curricular knowledge base for which the administrators and teachers used to select their resources and programming. The importance of including phonics, spelling, and word study is important to me because I have seen the value of it first hand. Their understanding and knowledge of brain-research-based instruction as well as their understanding of meeting the needs of the WHOLE child is impressive and unique in our present educational climate. Additionally, the partnership between the teachers and administrators has been instrumental in making the curriculum accessible to the students. St. Luke's is truly growing and nurturing critical-thinking, independent, well-rounded, soulful individuals.

They are clueless when it comes to dealing with girls who have anxiety issues…read more My daughter went here but suffered from severe anxiety and school refusal as a result of it. She participated in a hospital PHP that collaborated with the staff of Trinity High School to get my daughter back on track. Trinity did not follow the directives of the PHP but instead expelled my daughter before she could complete the program. My daughter now has PTSD from that whole experience. Also, since Trinity is on a block schedule and the school that she went to after Trinity is not, she had to make up 4 classes. Block schedules are good unless you have to transfer to a school that does not have them. Do not send your daughter here if she needs extra emotional support, they cannot provide that. In my opinion, they only want "cookie cutter" kids without emotional issues so the school can maintain their stellar academic rating.

It's a wonderful departure for her from regular day care, and I love the fact that she is getting a healthy dose of the Japanese language every morning. The teachers communicate well and are good at sending home what the children have been working on. My daughter just started at the beginning of November and is happy every morning that she attends school as opposed to not wanting to go to her previous day care. Obviously I don't have as much experience with the school as others do- I am interested to hear what others think. I give it 4 stars simply because it is super expensive. (As are all private schools of quality) We're shelling out a lot of cash monies to read a bad review of this place..... eeek. Thought I'd update my review - Feb. 08 - my daughter does not attend this school any more. We took her out at the end of last school year. She seemed to be the one kid who couldn't handle not understanding the language. She wouldn't talk to, or hardly look at the (Japanese) teachers. It made me sad to take her out because I really wanted her to have the early understanding of another language. She also seemed to dig the Montessori learning techniques. She's super happy at her new school and seems much more comfortable. comfortable

Keystone offers a nurturing, high-quality education for children from 22 months through eighth grade, which made it especially appealing for our family. The school is small, welcoming, and built around a close-knit community where children truly feel known and supported. The teachers are incredibly kind, attentive, and deeply invested in each child's growth. I toured about four different schools before choosing Keystone, and this was the only one that gave me that genuine warm, reassuring feeling. I strongly recommend Keystone to parents looking for a caring, developmentally supportive school that guides children from early childhood through middle school.
