I attended Jacb Beidler in the early 1950's. It always was an important part of tghe westside of Chicago. the foundation I recived helped me to a military career as a Army Captain. a civilian career as a business owner and a state career as a socail worker with a college degree in psychology... everything started with the instruction I receved at Beidler...

Your complaints were true under the old principal. However, you should check out Beidler School now! The principal has really turned that school around. Her work shows that she really cares about the students!

despite the fact that Beidler is a inner city school I appreciate the fact that they go above and beyond the call of duty for the students success... This school has displayed excellent leadership..

I feel that this school lacks a lot of things. First off the sports program is horrible. The students go to practice before school even begins. I haven't seen too much in regards to art and music but I can seriously say that the computer program is lacking to say the least. Apparently not even the teacher knows what to do. The entire school itself is poorly run and it starts with the principal.

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.
