I'm with you Lp....... I laugh at some of the comments I see on these forums. I currently live in Boone County and I love it! My kids are in the Belvidere School District and I have no problems at all. The people that read these forums need to consider the source. |

Your best source is to go to the Illinois interactive report card to find information on local schools.

My son goes to Belvidere High School and there are no gang problems. He graduates this year (with perfect attendence I might add) and he loves the school. I've asked him about drugs and gangs, etc. He said the school is really on top of things.
The athletics program was in money trouble this year but things worked out and the sports went off without a hitch. The booster club is amazing. My son was on the football team and when we went to away games, it wasn't unusal to see more people in the vistor's stands than the home team had. I lived in Belvidere for 8 years and it is a great town. As far as Rockford is concerned, the east side is great too. The taxes are a deal buster for me. I live in Sycamore now and the taxes aren't any better than Rockford. Myself, I'm Texas bound. After 46 years I've had all I can take of Illinois. Just one more nasty winter to go and I'm outta here!

Remember in Rockford the taxes will be higher in Boone, but Boone county's prices are a lot higher. This will offset the tax difference. Also you can write off property taxes as well.

I live in Belvidere and I wouldn't say there is a huge gang problem, but it definitely exists here. I live in a nice subdivision and we have had tagging and graffiti problems. Hopefully it won't get worse or we may have to re-think living here.
Two of my children go to Meehan Elementary and we have been very happy with the school. |

I have grown up in Rockford and currently live in Loves Park near I90 which has become a very desirable area. Rockford has some great places to live such as Spring Lake estates and Loves Park as well in Kings Acres, Breckenridge and Park Place, very kid friendly. Roscoe does have good schools, but Guilford is a very good Rkfd public high school. Spectrum School is a great private school and so is Rockford Christian.
