Oh my goodness could the administration be any less interested in your child? Mrs. Devers is truly careless with her encounters with the kids. It's truly a sad place to be.

I just want to say that Mohawk is a great school. When my son started first grade there he was so behind, with the help of the reading/math program that mohawk offers. My son is an excellent reader and math student. Thank you for all the help and interest in my son's education. KM

Good teachers mostly, administration needs a scope and sequence.

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.
