I am the Community School liaison at Nichsolon. It is a wonderful school with very devoted teachers. The teachers go out of their way to engage the students with exciting curriculuims and projects. There are many parents who are very involved withe the school. Students are respectful to teachers and other staff. A wonderful environment! -

Nicholson is a promising Elementary school, which tackles the needs and interests of their students as well as their parents. I have been a volunteer for almost 2-1/2 years. I am very proud of our school and it's many present and future accomplishments.

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.
