My son is in first grade at LaGrange Highlands Elementary School. It is a great school! Check it out. Kindergarten registration is Thursday, February 19th from 4:00-6:00pm.

Another choice is St John of the Cross Catholic school. It is located in Western Spring around 47th and Wolf Rd. I hear great things about this school.

Good luck and happy searching!

In additional to personal recommendations, check out the Illinois State report cards that are issued for each public school and a website called Great Schools (greatschools.net). You can search by community and see the schools in that area, along with ratings by Great Schools and parent comments if parents have done so for a particular school. Good luck in your search!

St. Paul's Lutheran School in Brookfield is a great school. The classes are small, so your child gets more help. They have a great circulum. My daughter has soared there. Good Luck. Tuition is not bad, plus you get a Christian education and environment.
