I know from a couple of acquaintances that Glenbrook North is an excellent high school. Officially…read moreper US News & World Report, it's ranked # 20 in Illinois high schools for what that's worth. This review though is for their nice fieldhouse facility and the Glenbrook North girls softball team members that conducted a softball clinic there. One of the kiddos is a participant in the Northbrook Girls Softball Association and these grade schoolers were given an opportunity to improve their skills for a fee at a series of 3 clinics held at the GBN HS fieldhouse. The fieldhouse is quite large with an indoor track, well equipped, well lit, clean, and modern and I had a good impression of it and the high school. The high school aged coaches were all competent for their roles and our grand-daughter had a good time here improving her skills.

New Connections - Palatine (Parent of a Currently Enrolled Student)…read moreMy child has been enrolled at NCA Palatine since 2020, and the school has truly been a game changer. Before coming to NCA, my child attended two of the top public school SPED programs in the area -- from push-in to pull-out services, and even self-contained classrooms. Unfortunately, not all students can thrive in their home school environment due to challenges like integration with the general education population, the level of support needed, and the availability of specialized staff. After doing extensive research on outplacement options, I chose NCA Palatine. Like any major transition, the adjustment took time. I questioned myself, the district, and even the NCA staff on more than one occasion. But every time, I received reassurance, thoughtful feedback, and clear action steps that led to real, meaningful improvements. Success at this school truly depends on collaboration between all parties involved, and the staff here genuinely understands that. They actively seek family input and value parent perspectives. Class sizes are small -- typically no more than 10 students -- with one teacher and two program assistants. Beyond the classroom, there's a strong team of support professionals, including multiple therapists, behavior specialists (RIS), and an outstanding administrative team. Without a doubt, this school has had the most significant impact on my child's education and development. For the first time in our child's life, we've found a community that genuinely cares and is committed to making the world a better place for our kids

Safe Haven in Lake Bluff was a blessing for my child. He has high functioning autism, depression,…read moreanxiety, and executive functioning disorder. He is exceptionally intelligent and kind. The neighborhood school was not working for him. The teachers could not understand that he had difficulty in getting the information out of his brain and onto paper in the time allotted. He would be punished and ridiculed by the teachers! The bullying by his peers was relentless. I pulled him out in fourth grade. The district demanded he return. I said "Absolutely not!" After a lot of back and forth, they agreed to have him enrolled in Safe Haven. It was amazing! The class sizes were small. The teachers were very caring and attentive. His first social worker was so kind. (She eventually moved to a different school.) His second social worker was very nice, too. I watched my son finally get the help he needed to succeed. He attended Safe Haven from fifth grade through high school. He was allowed to take classes at our local high school, too. (Our high school had a very good psych case worker.) He participated on the sports, teams, too. The safety, emotional support, and nurturing helped my son achieve his potential. He graduated high school as an honor student at the local high school (meaning perfect 4.0 GPA), a National Honor Student, and an Illinois State Scholar, which means he was in the top 10% of all graduating high school seniors. He just graduated from a top rated University in May. I cannot thank Safe Haven enough for guiding and helping my son, when the local grade school district didn't care what happened to him. They like round pegs. If your child needs a small school that cares, check out Safe Haven in Lake Bluff. Remember: Illinois has a law that allows you to choose where your child can get the help they need, and your home district must pay for it.

I am a Filipino and so are my kids - never we felt being judged or discriminate, something I find it my yardstick about extraordinary. Whenever a teacher retires, the whole community is so united, at one point I thought its election.
