My 3 children go to Corkery Elementary. They absolutely love their school and their teachers. This is their first year in school and they have learned so much. I am extremely happy with their teachers as well. Keep up the good work Corkery!!

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.
