Love this school!! My son has Down Syndrome and the teachers and other staff work with him and treat him like everyone else! He has learned a lot !
—Submitted by a parent


Posted May 8, 2008

Communication between teachers and parents needs improvement. My childs grade started falling in Math and never once did I receive a phone call. The AR program needs to go away. My child went from enjoying reading in her free time, to a mandated point system and now feels reading is a chore. The school participates a lot in the community and does a lot to generate donations.

My daughter is new to school. She will be 4 next week and is in the Pre-K program. I was floored with how excellent it is! The communication is fantastic between her teacher and myself.

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.
