My son goes to Fairview School and I think is amazing! The new math program is very good! It's the best elementary school in district 54!!!!

What a great staff! My daughter loves all her teachers and looks forward to going to school everyday.

Fairview is an amazing school. The new accelerated math program is really good and the amount of activities the children can do astound me on account of the small size of the school.

Everyone is really nice at Fairview. My son is in his second year, and the teachers are really great! Along with the staff and the PTA. I also attended this school when I was younger and it's nice to have my son in a familiar place. He enjoys this school very much!

We are fairly new to Fairview and the district, we feel it is o.k. We do have a few issues. The way math is taught in this district. It is very confusing to a child & parents who learned the 'old fashioned' way. The amount of homework is outrageous 4-5 hours of homework a night...for lower level grades.

I am going to be very simple, short and clear. Both of my children are in Fairview, and if it wasn't for Fairview and its staff,I assure you that my kids would be going to a private school. The only thing I have to say about Fairview is that it's a little overcrowded, and that's due to school district 54 that could use the old Twinbrook school for the Kindergarten and first graders and relieve Fairview from them and absorb more of the older children.

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.
