Re: Schools in USA - illinois
Hi
My son goes to University in Macomb. He is at Western Illinois University. Macomb is a very small town with the nearest larger city being Peoria I think. There is only one train into Chicago a day and it leaves at 7.30 am every day. The University is pretty much the focus of the town, apart from the Cornfields that it. It is very much out in the countryside. In the School summer holidays the St Louis Rams train and stay at the University. I'm sure you've checked but it is close to the border of Iowa and probably closer to St Louis Missouri than Chicago.
It takes us around 4 hours to drive to Macomb from the furthest Northwest suburbs of Chicago. (four and a half if I'm driving!) My son loves going to uni there and has made some great friends who live in and around Macomb. Good luck in you decision. Sorry but I don't know much about elementary schools there.
Why are you relocating to Macomb? Just curious.

I have mixed thoughts about schooling and which Education is better for my 5 year old kid. I know it is very difficult to compare eduation systems UK/USA.
The town is quite small with 4 public schools one in each age category.

Not sure if small town is positive or negative?
However as many of you have chosen to live in USA I thought you might have some thoughts on this subject.
Many thanks,
