NICE SCHOOL, WAY BETTER THEN WOOD DALE, WOOD DALE SCHOOLS ARE NOTHING LIKE HERE, BEST SCHOOL MY KIDS GO TO

Fullerton School provides a safe and nurturing learning environment and empowers all students to excel in the classroom and beyond while embracing individual differences.

This school still has a long way to go...The current principle supports mediocre work and try to control everything from how the PTA is run to how to discipline your child. Hopefully the school will begin to change once a new principle is chosen, however I doubt this will be the case snce most of the teachers do not challenge the students for them to reach their potential. Just take a look at the test scores!

All of my six children have attended Fullerton elementary school and I would not have wanted them anywhere else!!! All of my 5 sons were accepted into their first choice of colleges and I do believe it is because of their great start at Fullerton. The dedication and superioriority of the teachers and staff of Fullerton School cannot be matched, I feel, in the district! I am sure my daughter, who is in 6th grade now, will be accepted to her first choice also. While my two youngest sons were at the University of Notre Dame, there were 4 other Fullerton grads attending at the same time! Need I say more!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Illinois used the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 4 and 7 in science. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
