Posted April 27, 2010

Recently enrolled children into this school. Have great expectations for 2011-2012 school year. School under excellent leadership, now excellent CPS teachers must be put into position.

Posted April 27, 2009

The school needs new principal and direction. They lose teachers every year because of lack discipline and support for the teachers. the lack of parental concern or help also weekens the school. I WANTmy children out but its the neighborhood school and whne you try to switch they tell you they are full we in this neighbor hood are trapped.

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.
