Earle is located in a very difficult area. The school is making academic gains and this year the discipline and fights have dropped off. I'm proud of anyone who would like to work at a school in the heart of englewood. there is much work to do and more work to be done but please recognize the school has come a loooooooooooong way from 3 years ago.

We have to be aware that it is not the school that is going down, it is the help and the people who are not taking on their responsibilities. The parents aren't disciplining and taking action where it is needed. Some staff is warn out from the over loads of work and students behavior, and the administartion is barking out orders but not giving enough support. This is why our schools are failing. Remeber it takes a village to raise a well dignified citizen (child). We all must do our part and stop complaining.

I think Earle is a great school. this is a very challenging area to work in and the principal and teachers are doing a great job...I love that my children are here. Things have improved greatly since 2005.

The administration at the school is not fair and consistant. Changes need to be made for the students, parents, and teachers to feel safe. Isn't anyone listening?

I am so disappointed at Earle School.I lived across from Earle for many years. I don't know what happened to Earle. I remember when Earle was a very good school but i also watch as Earle School Went from almost top to failure. The student there grew worser and worser as the years went by. So be aware of Earle School such as security, disciplan, and rodent problem. (Parent of Earle School.)

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.
