My child has been attending this school for 4 yrs. and the teachers have all done a tremendous job! Love the atmosphere the teachers and staff! And Yes the teachers often stay late and are always there willing to help you with your child's education. They also have many programs like after school, violin and folkloric dance.

This is a case when you should not be mislead by test scores. The staff is very hard working and they go above and behond for the students, often staying until 5 or 6 pm. The students are respectful and the administration is very supportive. The atmosphere is calm and students are eager to learn. This has been a very positive experience.

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.
