My son first started Hartford Elementary last year, 2011, On top of being a new student, my son also has CF cystic fibrosis.....he was nervous just the thought of going to a different school, ....well, he felt very welcomed and loves the thought that he is going back there this year, he really likes the principal and other staff....thank you to all of Hartford school for making him feel comfortable with you.

I feel this is a good school. I feel it could have some extra classes to let the children who learn quicker to give them an extra boost they may need to keep them from being bored. When I went there it had a gifted program to let the advanced children do a little extra to help them learn and do more. I think something like that would be nice again. Over all, I feel it is a good 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.
