i mean closed slum schools!the building is beautiful but as the years go on the kids will tear this school apart in due time!


Posted August 20, 2012

It is a great school my daughter started going their in kindergarden when they first opened up and she graduated class of 2011. I still have 2 sons attending, they are in 6th and 2nd grade and I plan on also letting them graduate from here. They have so much to offer, they have good teachers and they also have a pool and a variety of activities for the students.

I love NTA! I transferred my child there 2 years ago and it was the best decision i could have ever made. I find the principal and staff to be so involved and caring. You know that the concern is real and not just their job. I want to send a special thanks to Mrs. Brooks my child's teacher. She is the greatest.

This is a very rough school. If your children attend, you will not get much support and you will have to worry about their safety every day. Children are so disruptive in classrooms, it is very hard for the teachers to teach them.

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.
