From Chicago Families

What families are saying.

I had no idea how the tier system worked or which schools I should even be targeting. After one call with Melissa, I finally felt like I actually understood what we were doing.

She helped us put together a ranking list that we never would have thought of ourselves. We got our second choice, which was actually her recommendation — so I consider it a win.

Worth every penny. We were completely new to Chicago and had no idea the public school landscape was this complicated. Melissa made it make sense.
