My child is in Mrs. Mueller's kindergarten class and he's advanced far beyond our expectations for his age. It's a tragedy that this lady is retiring. She's fantastic.

Andalusia Elementary School is a great school! Average class size is about 24 kids in Andalusia. The teachers there have really bonded and have a common goal to give the kids the best education possible. Mostly, the teachers are tenured and all are proffesional in their dealings with kids and parents. My 2 kids have attended this grade school and they believe they were well prepared for the rigors of Jr. High and High School. The Parents Club is very active and involved with both the kids and the teachers. Music is well represented, more so than art. The playgound has modern equipment and is well supervised. There is a real focus on education and physical development. Baseball is a main sport, and every kid who wants to play in the summer league is welcome. The principle at Andalusia is new, but well recieved.

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.
