My child is a student at Green School. The teachers are great. My child had an aversion to math, but he now likes math and is one of the top students in his math class. He will be going to high school in the fall and I feel that he will be well prepared to succeed.

Mr Dowdell is Doing a wonderful job with the school and I would invite former students to come see what is going on at the school and to give back to school and mentor some of the kids there at the school. I even prouder to be a parent of Wendell E. Green Students!!!!!

I am pleased with the education my child is receiving at this fantastic school. Standard resources include math, science, reading, vocabulary and writing, with additional resources in art, music, physical education, oratorical and young authors. Principal Tyrone Dowdell has revolutionzied this facility to be the premier school of choice. He has done this by offering a diverse atmosphere that incorporates all ethnicities. The NCLB Chairperson has worked diligently to promote parent participation and interaction. Principal Dowdell has a staff that is on board with the life long philosophy of 'education first'. Well done Wendell E. Green School. It is MY pleasure to have my child attend.

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.
