When our child wanted to go back to public school for high school our district of residence (k-8) was adamant about not complying with direct guidance from the Illinois State board of education regarding eligibility of service. Brandon steped in, and finally, I felt less alone, more heard, more informed. It is a shame we need to hire someone to force public schools to provide for their students, but a blessing that people like Brandon exist. We highly recommend anyone trying to navigate student services get a consultation with Brandon.

He was constructive to the whole situation and made the group actually work together to find a solution for my child. Everything had been so overwhelming until he came on board.

I would recommend him to any parent needing an advocate in the school setting for their child.

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

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.

They took good care of my family and the other two families that had parental deaths when I attended here. The teachers were great here I learned a lot. I was scoring in the high 90th percentile sin everything on every test I took after I left here. I owe them big time for that. They challenged me. I was in town the day the church burned...I saw it all smoky and crispy. Sad, sad, sad. I had my first communion here too. My mother, two classmate's parents and my great-grandmother's funerals were here. I was an alter girl too when I was a kid. I used to run around the church after school. This is the place that put the fear of G-d in me and keeps me agnostic rather then atheist as I go through that whole "I'm an adult - know what" thing. The spiritual education I got here kept me on a fairly straight path most of my life... The new church is AMAZING, huge and endless. They tore down the rectory and the convent and now have what I think is the largest and most beautiful community faith centers I have ever seen.
