Both of my kids go here and it has been completely positive. Every teacher they have had has been attentive and helping them strive to do their best (my son struggles academically, but his teachers have always helped him in every possible way). The new principal is fantastic - personable, friendly, and my kids love him. My only gripe is, and not of the school's fault, is they are trying to teach too much, too fast. I know that is the State that gives these teachers the requirements, which is sad. As for the school itself...fantastic!

My son goes to Winnebago and is doing great. The teachers are wonderful and I am very happy with this school. We have a new principal this year but he seems to be a good fit. I hope the school continues in the direction it is going.

For years the school has had great reviews. Over the last couple years it has really gone down hill. Teaching is too fast for a lot of students and instead of making sure that the kids are understanding what they are being taught, they are pushed harder. A lot of parents complain about this school. I will be moving out of district after this year is over.

My daughter attends Winnebago and I could not be happier with the staff. The parent involvement is very high. They offer music and intermurals sports. I am very happy to have my child attend this school.

The level of parent involvement is very high at Winnebago. There are alot of opportunities for parents to be involved in their children's activities at school.

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.
