Posted September 22, 2011

Subbed here last year and the kids and teachers were great. Welcoming and kind faces. The downfall: the ABSOLUTELY AWFUL, RUDE, CONDESCENDING clerk. I actually heard her bad mouthing a parent after the parent called to request work for her sick child. Why would this woman work in an elementary school setting with kids and parents if she's so cynical and rude? I don't get it.

The teachers and aides are awesome!

Extraordinary. Pronominal. Exquisite. Outstanding. Fine. Great. Good.! LBES is all of those and beyond! Four thumbs up Dr. H. Broyles.

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.
