Administration abuses its power at the cost of the families.

Please pay attention to this schools security measures and policies. We enrolled our toddler right before Ulvade. Concerned we realized we had not looked into this schools security measures. We contacted administration. After going over their response it seemed our public schools were doing more, SRO’s, Electronic locks, etc. We decided we were going drop our toddler from their program less then 2 weeks from our application 3 months before the following school year began. This is where the administration went dark. We had already handed over our FULL years tuition with our application. After two weeks of no info on our refund status after countless emails and calls. I met with the principal. I realized he was adamant about keeping a HUGE portion of our families funds even though our toddler has never used the facilities and we were dropping 3 months before. As reasonable people we expected to lose a deposit. This was not the case. PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR POLICIES before even beginning enrollment. They will hold as steadfast to these as tightly as they will your families funds. No matter the circumstance as Mr. Humphries made this very clear during our meeting. I cannot speak on the learning environment or educational staff as we only had the most unfortunate situation of dealing with the principal and admissions staff. If you enroll your child here and have any concerns regarding safety my hope is that your concerns will not be handled as callouses as our families. Goodluck.

Best school on the Northshore! The small class size sets Kehoe-France apart from so many other schools. With this environment the teachers provide so much more to each student as well as better academic attention. We love Kehoe-France and would recommend it to anyone.

Kehoe France has been a part of our family for over 10 years now. My son is a graduate and is in the top one percent of his high school class. This school prepares kids for the challenging and competitive world we live in today!

I attended River Forest (before it was Kehoe-France) and my 3 children are all at Kehoe now. I love the teachers, the small class sizes, and everything at the school. Mr. Humphries is a great principle and I do not feel like there is any prejudice or social class issues at the school. If the issues referenced were in regard to tuition then yes, you do have to pay tuition for your child to attend school here however, that is where the money segregation ends. Furthermore, all of the low ratings have come from people without children at this school, reference the one user who cannot even spell secluded. If you're considering a school for your child on the Northshore, Kehoe-France is the best!

I appreciate the comments on this board; especially when you are considering spending nearly $10K a year -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. Heard the new principal is great! They should have hired this guy a long time ago! Sounds like he has already started to turn things around! Have heard great comments about him! Good Luck!

It saddens me to read the review below. We have been part of the Kehoe community for four years now and LOVE the school! There is no socio-economic separation! ALL of the teachers are great and each have different personalities, as humans do! I think it is horrible that someone would also post direct personal attacks on here. This is a review of the school, not a forum to post personal attacks, and furthermore the principal that was spoken about is gone! We live a hectic life as small business owners, and Kehoe is part of the community that helps mold our children. I am proud to say that my children are advanced academically, friendly and courteous to others and extremely respectful of adults!

I couldn't disagree more with the posts claiming that there is an elitist ranking system in place. We're definitely not among the wealthiest families that attend KFN, but I feel our child still receives a top-notch education and he, nor our family, have ever been excluded or made to feel less valued in any capacity. Over four year's of enrollment, we have been fortunate to have highly qualified, capable teachers that have challenged and encouraged our child to be a good student and person. Our new principal is very courteous and genuinely interested in listening to parental feedback. Granted, it isn't the choice for every family, but we are extremely pleased with our decision to enroll at KFN.

One comment like the post dated January, 24th, 2012 regarding "placing children with teachers ...based upon socio-economic class" nauseates me. After reading this review, I will not even consider going to this school to ask questions regarding the possibility of educating my children in this type of environment.
