Mrs.Neslon is the finest lady I have met. I am honored the way she respects all, teachers as well as the students. She knows every student by name and always finds way to praise each of them personally. Mrs.Neslon lets everyone know her expectations and holds all accountable. Mrs.Nelson can be found at most home after school activities, how many principals do that. She is an outstanding leader for our school!

I believe that this school needs improvment in the k-3 grades as far as reading. I spoke to fifteen parents with second graders and a little more then half are repeating the grade next year due to reading problems. Is it the children or is it the teachers? I believe if your child is a strong reader this school otherwise is good.

This school lacks proper supervision, teachers are uncaring toward the student and does not go to the full extent to help them when necessary, lack of communication between the parents and faculty.

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.
