How do students fare?

  • Illinois publishes no test results or ratings for private schools in this list.

Is it inspected?

Illinois’s list of private schools carries no inspections or reviews of schools, so none are shown or counted here.

Who teaches?

  • Illinois’s list carries no staffing figures.

Who runs it?

  • Illinois’s list doesn’t say who runs the school.

Has anything been proven against it?

  • Illinois’s list carries no enforcement actions.

How does it compare nearby?

  • Private schools aren’t compared: the state’s list carries nothing to compare them by.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Illinois’s State Board of Education lists the nonpublic schools in its yearly Directory of Education Entities; it is ISBE’s own list, which may not hold every private school, and the nonpublic special education programs it lists apart aren’t here. NCES’s Private School Universe Survey counted 1,233 private schools in Illinois in 2021-22.
  • Illinois’s list of private schools carries no inspections or reviews of schools, so none are shown or counted here.
  • Its street address, phone number and email aren’t shown, as a small school can be in a home; the state’s own list has them.
