Review of Elgin, Illinois

The school system in Elgin is poor
Star Rating - 10/15/2008
Below average test scores, drug/gang problems, apathetic teachers, and overcrowding are reasons that made us home school our kids. At 6th grade, we ponied up big time for private school. (Westminster Christian)wasn't very good for other reasons (They were more interested in teaching bible than reading, science, and math), now finally, we're moving out of school district u46.
