What is the best Private Elementary School in Chicago?
I have a 2nd Grader, I am Looking to put her in a private school that will give her the best academic education she can have. I would enroll her next year of course when she goes into the 3rd grade. 1st I ask what is THE best, 2nd, what is THE best diverse private school, I don’t want her to be the only minority child in the school. Thankyou people.
I’m sorry to say that I do not know any good private schools for such young kids. But I do recommend regional gifted centers when she reaches seventh or eighth grade. Whitney Young’s seventh and eighth grade program is #1 in the state. And once she reaches high school I recommend selective enrollment schools like Northside, Walter Payton, and Whitney Young. The nice thing about these places is that you are typically surrounded by intelligent kids, more advanced classes, it is racially and culturally diverse, and you don’t have to pay a cent for it. Keep in mind though, that usually the really good private schools require you to test and do really well academically to get in. Competition in the elite schools in Chicago is really intense, so its important that your child does well academically.
