Stockton school is a great school with great teachers starting from pre-k thru 8th i know the principle is new there but so far doing a great job i sometimes volunteer there and everyone show respect to you.

The principal is new so hard to say how she will do. The previous principal was great. In general early childhood programs are great. The Pre-k and kindergarten teachers are great. For a neighborhood school, they have a music program which my children have enjoyed. However, as the children progressed to higher grade levels, they were not as challenged and began to feel more bored. They did not have many programs in place for the more accelerated chidlren.

In the short time my daughter has been there, I have seen excellent academic programs, an abundance of music, art and sports and have seen a good effort from the parents with their involvement in the classroom.

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.
