Normally this school would rate in our opinoin 3 or 4, however as a small school and the principal having little leadership, she will follow the political leader. In a small town it starts in the church and trickles into the school.

I am thrilled with jp. My children love it there. They have great academic programs and parent involvement is high.

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.
