Top notch educators, administration and parent involvement makes this school wonderful. The district provides excellent technology and adequate training for its teachers. Students are exposed to a great amount of real world learning.

West School is amazing in so many ways. It teaches you so much. I love it. The new technology is great. The kids are so nice and same with the teachers. The down things are it is kind of hard when it comes to tests.

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.
