My son does very well academically, and Whitman Post Elementary School continues to challenge him to the next level. They also promote a well-rounded child with incredible fine arts classes and character development program. I highly recommend this school!

I transferred my son from a private school in Rockford when we decided to move to the Rockton school district and were shocked that this public school was ahead of the amazing private school we had transferred him from. My son has always been in in advanced classes and was in a pullout gifted program at Rockford Christian. When we enrolled him in 4th grade at Whitman Post his scores we not high enough to enter into the advanced courses. I was frustrated at first and spoke to the principal and teacher about my concern. After one year, my son was able catch up to the other advanced students and barely got into the advanced math class. I have been very pleased with the teachers ability to challenge him when he wasn't in advanced courses. I am also very happy with the prompt communication I have with his teacher since my son is also ADHD he sometimes runs into issues w/homework or social issues with other students. Both the teachers and principal have been a pleasure to work with and I am very pleased we are not spending money on private schooling that isn't keeping pace with this amazing public school!
