As a former student of Roosevelt Elementary; I must say that many teachers taught old school style. I was a student from 2nd grade through 8th grade. I made many friends and my mother and other parents were actively involved. I graduated in 1985. I hope to see more parents and teachers respond. I thought I did not learn very much at the time. When my mom showed my my standardized tests scores I did quite well. The school could use a partnership with either Northern Illinois University or other local colleges to promote new concepts, teaching strategies, professional learning communities and parent involvement. M. J. Lews 1985 8th grade

There seems to be a 50/50 mix of quality teachers. Some seem to have more experience and some are fresh out of school. There are music, art, and sports teams. The parents are encouraged to be involved. They offer reading incentives and parent meetings.

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.
