The teachers there really care about the children & go above & beyond to help them in every way. The principal is always seen participating with the children greeting them in the morning & seeing they get safely on the bus at dismissal. Now the office staff they could be a little more friendly they are really dry & non approachable but overall the school is great & my son loves it.

I'm a grandparent, crazy about my grandkids and am so glad they are at this school. Amazing teachers who do unbelievable work--love the progress and the children's self-esteem is through the roof. Thank you a million times over.

I have 2 boys (ages 6 and 7) at Belle Valley North. So far, their teachers have been good to great. They are communicating to us what are the boyhs' shortcomings and work with us to get them to overcome them. However, I cannot say the same for the leadership and the 'front office' staff. Their communications are contradictory that sends me on 'wild-goose-chases' most of the time. Unfortunately for us, as a busy, 2 working-parent-family, that is more than a little frustrating.

Outstanding teachers. Teachers seem to truely care about student welfare and and engage with concerned parents to ensure best opportunity for the children to learn. They (the teachers and school) have gone way beyond any state requirement to assist this concerned parent to gain assistance with an ADHD diagnosed child. They are patient with him, helpful to me, and committed to teaching him. Dedication of this type, in this day and age, is almost unheard of. This school is filled with professionals who are committed to the students. The school is also committed to academic learning also. They have an outstanding carriculum that challenges the students, but is not unachievable. It promotes growth in a safe, clean, caring enviornment. THis is a top notch school!!!! No city should be without a school like this.

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.
