St. William School

My child transferred to St. William recently. His standardized test scores went up by almost 20 points overall!! We are so pleased with the small class size and individual attention that he is receiving there. St. William is very much a family atmosphere and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great school for their children.

St.William is the best school ever. Yes it does not have a gym but the coaches and staff try to find ways to practice and play. The sports team have been doing very good. The basketball team is tied for 1st or 2nd place and doing very well. The soccer team won 1st place last year. The teachers are great;they teach the children in a discipline and fun manner. They children love it there. They make new friends and since its a small school no one is left out. St.William is the best school. They face good teams in soccer and basketball that do have gyms and yet we beat them. I am proud to say St.William is the best school.Everyone loves it and Yes its affordable.

St William is a great school community. My children have all excelled in sports, in academics and music. I feel that the school does very well for preparing them for high school and beyond. The teachers and staff are caring and dedicated, every school should be lucky enough to have teachers like the ones at St William. My sons have been going there since preschool ( a wonderful teacher!) and have continued on to be on the high honor roll and principal honor roll.

I send my 3 yr. old there, and he loves it. They do not have a 'gym' but they do have a large basement for inside activities. As far as teaching goes my son is learning with no problem. For example he learned a song at school that taught him all the months in the year. He does not read yet but he does have story time with the teacher. You cannot depend on a school to be the sole source of education, it starts at home. St. William is a great catholic school with a caring enviroment and excellent teachings. Plus, the education is affordable and cheaper than daycare, you can't go wrong.

My son attended their Pre-K4 program here at St. William which was suppose to be a 'learning experience' but turned out to be a glorified free-for-all, it is called 'learn by playing'. I paid a hefty tuition to have my child 'play' but thankfully pulled him out and now he attends another Catholic school's Pre-K4 program which is outstanding - He can read!

We pulled my son out of a terrible Chicago public school kindergarten to go here and are very pleased with our decision. A great atmosphere, caring and involved teachers and staff and a very good program. My son has excelled here because he is not overwelmed with overcrowded classrooms like in the chicago public. They also just got a brand new computer lab which absolutely outshines any other schools around. Great school, great teacher, great parish!

If you want your child into sports here good luck because they have no gym-unless the parking lot in back counts (even in the cold)-and the teams are in short amount. In my opinion this school on a scale of one to ten is a four. My youngest will not be attending.

St. William School is a good school. The classes are good size and teachers are great. They have good after school activities. They also have band, sports and they let the students get involved in alot of school projects. Its there 80th aniversary. Most of the kids have been attending St. William since preschool and feels like home.
