This is the best school my child has attended in School District #54! The staff is completely dedicated to the success of every student. They are knowledgable in their subject areas and are able to present this information in creative, interesting, and fun ways. They are very accessable and responsive to parent communication. My child has made a smooth adjustment from elementary to junior high thanks to the support of a great school setting. He is achieveing at his highest academic level ever and has participated in many school activities. I believe this experience is teaching him what is important to be be successful in school as well as in his life.

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.
