my son has been going to this school since he was in pre-k and now he is in the 1st grade. the teachers at this school are very sensitive and caring. they care about your childs progress and they look forward to coming to work to be with the children. This is an overall great 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.
