I went to this school when I was a child. Then I sent my children to this school. And now my grandkids are going to Bridgeview School. My one grandchild came to this school after going to a school that was ready to give up on him. Bridgeview has worked with him to get him in control while in school and they continue to work with him. Two of my other grandchildren also go there one recently transferred from Guatemala and the teachers are also working with him to help him get to where he is supposed to be in his grade level. They have even started him with a special teacher that is helping him. Bridgeview has an after school program for children that is from one of the nearby churches and that has also helped the children grow. I have to say Bridgeview has been so good to our family. Thank you again for all you have done for us and continue to do for the community. I am proud to be part of it.

The school has no extracurricular activities to offer. The children have no playground , and there gym is there cafeteria. I feel that not enough funds go into this school and the surrounding schools have much more to offer. Over the last year the teachers have lost control of the students and things have been very unstable.

I believe Bridgeview School is one of the better schools in the surrounding areas. I do think the faculty is too strict on some things but too lax on others. Overall, it is a good learning environment for our children.

Bridgeview School is wonderful! The principal works so hard. The staff cares so much about the students. They work with students to meet their needs and they teach reading in new and exciting ways for my child.

the 4th grade teacher was one of the finest teachers of this school but she left to go work at another school.there was also a really nice,smart 5th grade teacher but she also left the school, and when Mr.Botsis,the old principal, worked at this school it was one of the best schools around.

Mrs. Heimlich is one of the finest principals I have ever worked with. She is extremely hard working and very dedicated to her students. Dr. Jon N. Nebor, Superintendent

this school does not care about the students. the principle is the laziest principle and my child did not learn what they should have learned for the next year.

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.
