I love Lane because the teachers are great and my son loves going to school there.

My daughter is in 2nd grade in Mrs. Ciraulo's class. She is a wonderful teacher. Very patient and sweet. No complaints. I love that they have 1/2 grades together. The 2nd graders help the 1st and vice versa. I have personally seen the improvement in the reading skills of the class from the beginning. This is a great school and teacher.

My daughter went to Lane when we moved to the Alsip area from third grade until sixth grade. I loved the teachers, they put forth their best efforts. My daughter loved the school and I have no complaints.

My son just started attending Lane this fall for 2nd grade and so far I must say I am impressed. The teachers show a genuine concern for the well-being and overall educational atmosphere that the children receive while there. They value parent input and suggestions which I must say is refreshing. The new principal was once a teacher there so she knows how things work on both ends. I'm really hoping the rest of the year continues to be just as good.

The 1st/2nd grade teacher is wonderful!

I attended Lane School a while ago, and I did not fully appreciate the value of Lane's high standards in education until we moved to another town. The principal is completely engaged in the learning process, as are all the teachers my sister and I had. Now I am a college student majoring in education, and in looking back at Lane I can see that they were ahead of the game, even back then. Lane is a great place to be.

Lane School is very different than other schools around. The children are always busy and having fun learning. The saddest thing about leaving Alsip is leaving Lane School. Anyone moving into Alsip, should make sure they are moving into District 126. It's a wonderful school district.

My daughter has been attending Lane since kindergarten and is now going in 4th grade. This is an excellent school. She's been above average in everything since starting here. The teachers don't let her get bored but find something more challenging for her to do to keep her interest up. I would highly recommend Lane to any family moving into the area.

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.
