My daughter started this school in (K) she is now in 6th. She loves it all of miss the staff and teachers are very involved and really care about the kids. She is going to miss bluffview next year. I do think there needs to be a few more sports for the girls to get involved in.

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.
