Posted February 25, 2010

I am so happy to have my kids back in North School. I believe this school is a great school when it comes to teaching and respect. My kids transfered out 1 1/2 yrs ago because of a move but we are back in Franklin Park and now they are back in North. I am upset to find out that my 1st grader is not at the level she should be (thanks to her prior school) I know now they will be just fine when it comes to their education.

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.
