This is a great small neighborhood school that has spectacular teachers and students. My son loves Washington and has excelled. I love the fact that every child is treated with respect and the diversity of the school and district make it a real life experience. I wanted district 63 schools for my kids based on feedback from parents in neighboring districts. I wouldn't trade it for anything!

This school has excellent teachers who are dedicated and caring. I've had great experiences with the kindergarten program and my child loves being there.

It is disapointing to know the school has cut classes from kindergarten to 4th grade learning academics. The Principal of the school never has time to speek with the parents to discuss issues.

The principle is a very poor example of a leader {David Ballard}he has no idea how to control the student's ,put's things off thinking the problem will go away or be forgotten. Most all of the teachers are highly skilled and work well with the students.

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.
