The teachers are phenomenal, they go the extra mile to help kids understand. The curriculum is age appropriate and challenging. Lots of extra curricular activities from which to choose. Plenty of in-school and out-of-school field trips to help make the subjects more memorable.

My daughter has just started this year. And so far she loves it as I do too. I like there whole stratigic...on how to help students out with subjects..My daughter made the Academic Excellence for having Straight A's on her First Trimester which I love the way they recognized them.. And its funny to hear my daughter say,' Mom have you seen my grades'...I got a C on this worksheet did that impact my grade' and if it did do I still have a chance to get an A...She makes me smile!

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.
