The staff at this school are wonderful people and do generally care about their students. The PTO is well organized and welcoming. This really is a great school!

Field Trips are minimal as are extracurricular activities. The computer equipment is outdated and not very well maintained. My second grader's teacher was not very good with parent/teacher interaction.

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.
