Many years later, I still remember many of the lessons my teachers had taught me in math, science, choir, drivers ed, and other subjects. They were always a little tough on grading and pushed a bit harder for critical thinking and understanding rather than memorizing a subject. This came in use for college when many tests consisted of short answer and essay questions instead of simply reciting memorized facts. One of the best parts of going to school here was the robust activities program. From chess to newspaper to choir, there were always plenty of opportunities to enrich ones learning before, during, and after the school day. This was an invaluable way to learn new skills and make new friends while learning from highly qualified mentors. Palatine High School is a great high school that really prepares students well for success later in life.

I wrote a review on Google and the school censored it. The principal, Donna Bingaman, doesn't want…read moreanyone to know how bad a job she is doing at this school so she blocked my review. And then she tried to write a nice description of how GB is growing the kids as a whole, academically, blah, blah. But the truth is they are not teaching the kids anything and the kids are falling behind the district in test scores. The teachers (Fortman and Adams) are so lazy and Bingaman doesn't do anything about it. How can they are growing the kids if they are not teaching them the basics in math, reading, and science. And then there is Bingaman's attitude of, 'Oh, I am the principal so I don't need to talk to the parents or the students'. I have never seen her trying to say hi to the students or any parent at any school event. So awkward when the parents try to avoid her. But really, I don't really care about this BS. I feel sorry for the kids who will struggle in middle school.

Our experience with this school was extremely disappointing…read more Our 9-year-old son was isolated and subjected to ongoing bullying by a group of boys. The situation was visible to teachers and staff, yet we as parents were never informed about what was happening. Instead of protecting a child who was clearly struggling, the school allowed the behavior to continue and left him to cope with it on his own. What is most concerning is that while our son suffered the consequences of this bullying, the students involved continued to receive recognition and rewards, with no visible accountability for their actions. A school's first responsibility is to provide a safe and supportive environment for its students. In our experience, this school failed to meet that responsibility.

If you are a minority, specifically a Black person, you and your child would not be treated like other races. Their rules are broken for "non-Blacks" but a Black person is expected to follow them at all times. You and your child would be made to feel uncomfortable and bringing the issue to the staff only makes you feel more ostracized. I have been strongly considering sending my daughter back to public school. They claim to be more advanced in their studies than a public school, but my daughter is reading a book that she read in Public School three years ago. I am so disappointed in myself for choosing this school. The way that I feel treated by them is not against the law, but I do feel that it is a moral issue. Is this really the Catholic faith?
