They really need to focus more on LA. We had some great 5th grade teachers in 2015 & 2016 that really helped prepare my child for 6th grade.

This school care about students. After moving here from Evanston we saw real changes in our daughters Emily and Jessica. In Skokie, Evanston and Lincolnwood they almost always give higher grades and almost all scholarships to Jewish students and not Catholic students. As a parent involved in the PTA I noticed how Jewish students were being promoted and given better letters for entering high school and college. A childs records stay with them for life. They do a good job so that non Jewish students have difficulties entering good 4 year colleges upon graduation. If the student works hard and goes to a community college than they can at least enter a 4 year school later. Here Catholic students are not being discriminated against. In Evanston, Skokie, Lincolnwood and Kenilworth they'll have the parents thinking the schools are great and the students are doing good but do you really know what their writing in your child's lifetime records?
