It embodies nothing that a catholic school is supposed to be about. My child has been depressed with his mental condition in the school since day one. The main problem starts at the top. The school inst about education, its about money. I have never seen a school deliberately portray themselves as a cash grab. The 11K a year cost was the biggest waste of my money. Private school would have been better than this dump. The teachers are also rude and the corporate leaders of the school dont give a s*** about the kids. Actually i would probably say NO ONE in the entire school cares about anyone besides themselves despite there being a few good teachers. I urge you to stay away from St. Francis

Very inept system, terrible at identifying behavioral problems and tackling bullying. I am 24, and…read moremy life is a complete mess because of what they did to me. Bower, Hubble, and Wheaton Warrenville South High School. Still struggling from trauma inflicted from both staff and peers alike. But this is symptomatic of all government-funded public schools. I will admit, some of the teachers here were amazing. But good teachers within a broken system can only do so much. And even some of the ones I liked would more or less blow me off. Unless you have immense confidence and your parents have a good source of income, you won't get far with the arts programs here. Unfortunately, I had neither. Also, the amount of homework is insane, and there wasn't really any good support for me in being able to manage it all. I feel bad for the teachers, because I know some of them did their best, staying after school to help me. But alas, I had to drop out my junior year at 17, partially because I was behind credits and still technically a sophomore. The other part, well, the bullying and complete social isolation. I guess that is why I am here now reviewing this 7 years later, as it was my anniversary of that day a few days ago. I really can't bring myself to give this any more than 1 star, sorry.

Madison has the most wonderful staff in the world. They're just the right amount of sweet and strict. Gene Sikorski, the principal for over 25 years, just retired this past year.

The best education in Wheaton, bring your child to Madison. You won't regret it.

UNACCEPTABLE AGAIN. they have to be equal sized because i like that. oh yeah, DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED WITH THE LUNCH. because, they serve SQUARE PIZZA'S!!!! i want my pizza's to be circle and it's insulting to a 0.1% Italian (aka me) because squares are BAD and circles are GOOD. but, i get candy and candy is awesome so instant 5 stars.

We had our 3 year old son at Montessori Academy of Glen Ellyn (MAGE) and removed him after he came…read morehome with a dislocated arm. We understand accidents happen. However, we were not notified of any injury at the time it occurred or when we picked him up. To this day (weeks later) MAGE has been unable to tell us how or when our son was injured that day. Due to our son's age, he was unable to articulate what happened, but it is obviously unlikely he did this to himself. Due to the lack of information provided by MAGE, the pediatric doctor requested x-rays to eliminate the possibility of a broken bone. After x-rays revealed no broken bones, his arm was adjusted back into place. We were asking for 100% reimbursement of the $530 for the x-rays which was our out-of-pocket after insurance, and MAGE denied our request. We are very dissatisfied with how this was handled.

I'm so disappointed to write this review, but I feel like it is my only option as Prairie School…read morehas not communicated with me in over five weeks. After touring the school, we applied to the pre-k program for early consideration (2/10/25). While communication prior to the tour and the application was quick and helpful, we started to run into problems after our application and fee were collected. To keep this as brief as possible, we reached out regarding timing of the decision on applications three times (both by email and phone call) to finally be responded to nearly five weeks past the first email. Once we received notification that we were placed on a waitlist and "...should a space in the class become available, the enrollment committee will ensure that your application receives thorough consideration..." we had a couple clarifying questions regarding the waitlist and the review process (as it is worded, it sounds as though our application was not even reviewed). We have not heard back from the school in five weeks. We have tried multiple email addresses, including the enrollment coordinator we had been communicating with, in addition to calling the school. Unfortunately, my experience with Prairie School is this: To apply, a family must dedicate time to attend a tour, complete a lengthy application, and pay a $150 non-fundable fee to ultimately not even have your application reviewed (which leads me to wonder what the fee is for, if not payment for the time/resources it takes to review a family's application). Additionally, the school does not respond to questions regarding the application process once your payment is made. As I'm writing this it sounds so wild! I would not recommend looking into this school.
