Hi. I'm also in IL, although in a Chicago suburb. Have you tried using the "Find a School" feature on the green menu bar near the top of this page? You can enter a location and grade level, and find a list of all schools in a given area. Public ones are rated from 1 (low) to 10 (high) based on how their students perform on statewide testing. You can also click on individual school names in blue font, to find out more details and read any parent comments about the schools.
For general questions, you might also like to join Greatschools Elementary Parents Group at community.greatschools.net/groups/11527
