Overall I love this school. My 2 sons went here since 3-5gr. It started out shakey for them in the beginging,but as time went on i wonderful improvement in both of my children. My oldest got on the ball and started actually caring about his school work. My youngest had major imporvements too. My oldest teacher was a wonderful, caring teacher name Mrs. Tibbs who he ended up with the 3 yrs he was there. At first I thought this wasn't such a good idea to keep him in the same class, but it turned out to be the best thing for him. She new my child inside and out buy the time he graduated. We were very prod of him. She motivated and challege him to do his best and We love her for that.

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.
