The parents at Kingsley are so committed to improving their children's school. The PTA work really hard to bring good things in that the district can no longer provide.

I do not like this school. I had an issue and I felt that it did not matter to staff. I was not comfortable sending my child to this school. I feel that the school work could be a little more challenging to the children. A lot of what she is doing in first grade was done in kindergarten at another school.

This one of the best schools in our area. we will be sorry to leave it. Parents are very involved. The children are taught all of the 'extra' classes. They are given speech tutoring, if needed. We have been here 11 years, with 3 children going through this system. I would recommend highly to anyone.

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.
