Fantastic school. My children have come a long way this school year. We moved last year and this was our first year at Elm. Not only is the teaching superior, but the children in the school are respectful and caring. My experience this past school year was far from superior. I have only the best to say about our new school community.

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.
