Posted June 12, 2004

This is a wonderful school. It's small, but comfortable and not to over-whelming. I spent a good portion of my childhood here and I loved it! Also, I'd like to say hello to a few people I use to know: HI, Justin Adams, Angie Ragein, Beth Jones, Kyle Massey, Jeff Berglund, Jackie Reed, Mitch Owens, Warren Sisk, Del Mayhew, Summer Mayhew, Stephine Eastmen, Tonya Shride, and Pamela Ruesher. Thank you guys for making my childhood unforgetable!

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.
