I've had my son going here 3 years and over-all it's been great. There are bullies, but the teachers and principal and a specialist for conflicts help solve problems effectively. It is family focused, like it's name, it's on a year-round schedule which works well for us, and the kids are in school many more hours a year than others around; school starts at 8am and ends at 4pm even for Kindergarten. If your child goes here be prepared to help your child with difficult homework every day and weekends. They push hard and if parents support the work great learning happens. My 2nd grader is now well above his age level in reading, writing, and math. They work very hard to get each learning level moving up, there are special groups for the advanced and behind.

This school has done wonders for my boys. They treat each and every student individually! Not letting one kid slip through the crack. The whole staff is super friendly and involved

First of all my kid love this school. Most kids are nice and kind one another, and its principal, staffs and teachers are very dilligent and eager to teach and take care of the kids. The kids are learning to consider others before themselves and getting used to live harmoniously in the school.

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.
