this school during my 2 years there had an very divided staff!the teachers would fight and snap at each other!there were some of the teachers at this school i hated!the principal before mr. flores did give me an assigned classroom but expected too much out of you and was demanding!the student population was small which half of them were nice but the other half stunk!the buildings were poorly conditioned too!

My child went to this school in second grade and it was a horrible experience for my child and I.. then the teacher retired and so I decided to take her there for the last year due to her school closing so I decided to give it another try. The principle is very mean to children and to parents. he doesn't resolve the problem that the school is facing which is bullying, some teachers are there to just get paid an don't put the effort in teaching a child, the parents that are involved are there for to just gossip, The school is falling apart everything in that school is old school it needs some major upgrading. as long as Mr. Flores is there that school is never going to prosper that way it should. It needs to either get there acts together and fix it or close it.. I am basing everything in what I witnessed. rating of this school should be 0.

Very poor administrative leadership. More emphasis put on parent happiness than on teacher welfare.

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.
