Posted April 7, 2008

I am very pleased with the principal and the teaching staff at Washington. It's the best kept secret in Unit 4 School District. I really appreciate the level of concern and special attention the staff has towards the students. I enjoy seing interaction between the teachers, staff, parents and students that is encouraging, positive and uplifting. I'm glad I choose this school because my daughters exposure to other cultures within this university town is priceless.

The teachers are good enough, but there still some problems with the level of education the children get, the scores are low on the ISAT, very low!

Fantastic teachers, enriched curriculum, and positive school culture characterize this building. I have had children attending this school for the past 8 years and have never been anything but pleased about the education and treatment they have received. I appreciate the respect for children evidenced by the staff and the way that children are taught to respect each other. The art and music programs are the best in the district. As a parent, I feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to become involved in the education of my children. I have enjoyed meeting diverse groups of parents in the community who have chosen to attend this school

The teachers in this school work so incredibly hard to help our children excell. I have never seen a school where the teachers are working late and providing so many programs for the children in a wide variety of areas including Spanish and English.

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.
