I really love this school. My child was having some medical issues, and we kept getting flagged…read morefor truancy (despite him having an A average and working with his teachers). We eventually withdrew him from his local public school and found GFA. It worked out really well. He found a great group of friends and was academically challenged. The teachers really cared about him and despite its small size, there were enough extra curriculars and clubs to keep him engaged. I strongly recommend this school if the public school is not a good fit for your child or you are looking for them to be challenged. The Teachers go out of their way to create classes to meet the needs of the students, and the results and college acceptances prove that.

The Governor French Academy (GFA) is a wonderful academic institution. The individualized…read moreinstruction the children receive coupled with the wide variety of topics covered, makes for an outstanding environment for young minds. The staff are knowledgable, kind and helpful and are focused on the education of children. We have been pleasantly surprised with how well GFA is run and how well our daughter is learning and growing. The school is top notch and we would recommend it to anyone in the area as a first class education program for all school aged children.

I also appreciate the security this school provides and the religious teachings as well as the service hours 8th graders are required to make. The education is very well rounded. The faculty and staff really care about the students. We've made many lifelong friends from our time as parents at this school and so have our children. We've loved our time with this school. I highly recommend touring and checking it out for yourself.

Very odd place to review - I am aware…read more However I am not reviewing to comment on the school, their grounds, programs, etc. Just here to talk about their Notre Dame Bingo night, every Friday Night at 7. Let me tell you, these was the most overwhelming rounds of Bingo I had ever played. Midwest goes hard I guess? This gym-itorium was full of people! All in all I probably spent about $35(?) between the various cards, special games (early bird, night owl, wild star and spectrum), and a Bingo dobber. They play 24 rounds of bingo. First game up is Sweet 16, winner gets 50/50 of the raffle prior to. They continue with 11 more games, each games minimum winnings being $100 for early bird, straight bingo and caller's choice games. Our caller for the night was Dan. And let me tell you, he did not give anyone a chance to review their cards. It was literally one call after the other. After intermission we played wild card - to win players had to get all three numbers listed on their pull tab. Continuing on we continued straight bingo, caller's choice then night owl until spectrum. Spectrum's winnings that night was upwards of $2400 for the power bowl. Coverall is played as the ending game, winners take $500. They did give out various 'door prizes' including coupons towards upcoming games, free local dinners, etc. I did not win. One of my mother-in-laws got a coupon for money off towards her next bingo night. My other mother-in-law split the pot and won $50. It was a good time, I docked my review do to it being pretty pricey, their caller of the night was far too fast. I barely got a chance to review my cards before moving onto the next game.

Pontiac Jr High School is located in Fairview Heights, IL. It's an extension to William Holiday…read moremiddle school (K-5th grade). Pontiac teaches grades 6th-8th. Most children that attend can walk, ride their bikes, are picked up by a school bus or parents drop off. The environment gets the students ready for High School allowing them to have lockers, switch classes and start having responsibilities they didn't have in grade school. The teachers that I have encountered shows care and concern for their students. Sincerely, wanting to see them all succeed and prepare them for their next grade. They also have sports like any other school. Students are not able to participate if they do not maintain a certain grade average and attendance. If your child is absent, don't worry, you will get a call to find out why. You also have access to call or email your child teachers for any concerns. My son has moved on to High School but he visits on a regular to support the Volleyball team. At the end of the day... I don't have any children to attend Pontiac but I would recommend it for others.
