I have my daughter gong to this great school and would like to say that the teachers and staff really care about the students
—Submitted by a parent


Posted November 30, 2007

This is my daughter 2nd year in JR Tibbot Elementary School and I have to say she has improved alot more this year. She's in 1st grade but I'm impress that she reads alot and loves to read and not only in spanish but also in english. I'm delighted with all aspects and thankfull to all the staff and with her teacher Ms Verastequi for the dedication she gives to my daugther. At first I thought she was so strick to be teaching on 1st grade but my daughter has learned alot more. I highly recommend Tibbott School and keep up the great job with the stutdents.

Both of my daughters attend(ed) Tibbot. They enjoy the atmosphere and the dedication of their teachers. Mr. Carli, who just retired knew most of the students by name, had a nice word for all students and inspired the teachers to challenge the students to love the educational setting. I was disappointed when the guitar lessons did not take place this year as hoped. I am delighted with all aspects of this school and would highly recommend it. Students can even stay before and after school under supervision if their parents can afford it. What I don't like is that the district only offers bus rides under 1 1/2 miles. This is too much for little children in rough or cold weather.

I would like to first start off with a hats off to Mr.Carli(principal).My son and I moved to this area two years ago. My son was struggling with the death of his'granny' and I too(my mom. His grades were lousy so I decided to have a talk with Mr.Carli who reassured me that kids transferring from outside of of the district have a harder time adjusting. He told me to be patient, and I did and now my son is a straight B plus one C student! His staff is excellent.

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.
