I go to lincoln prairie and I LOVE IT. I would never, ever switch schools for my life. The teachers are so supporting and we might be small but we have the best spirit. There's no bullying, no teasing, no populars, no drug pressure, or anything. I love it so much. Its a building where I can learn and feel safe I will never, ever switch unless I have to go to high school :)

I am honored to be at this school building my knowledge. This school is different from others, it's unique. Not just because of the grade levels but because it's like a second home. When you're usually at school you think..ugh it's another day of school. But here you don't feel like that. The atmosphere is different. You feel like the sky is the limit with reaching your goals. During your time at this school you grow a bond between the students, teachers and the school itself. I recommend this school to anybody who wants to be sucsessful in life and who wants to make the most of their childhood and teenage years.

I enjoy the teacher involvement. As well as the extra activities that support the children's ejoyment towards art. The multi-age classroom teaches children to interact with others as well as provides a wonderful classroom. This school is wonderful and I would recommend that this be a top choice is possible.

This school is amazing. I went there from the year it opened until 5th grade. The teachers were amazing and they always helped everyone. Being in a multiage class I grew up with people who were different ages, but I never really thought of them as older or younger than I. Parents are always involved and the school is always communicating, like in whole school meetings. I would recommend this school to anyone.

These the best School...anyone feel a family and welcoming here. Teachers are great and everyone works one on one with their students. Everyday something new is going on here. Old and New Principals are very NICE! My daughter graduated three years ago and still she vistis teachers there and my son, he does not want to change the school at all.

This school has been a blessing to our family. In this day and age of war and dispair, we were able to find a school that shared our passion for young people, it is a place that lets them take a risk, live a dream and use their imagination. They have fun learning. The school gives them so many opportunities for a bright future. The staff is the best of the best in the area. We are very pleased. (I am from the east coast and was very partial to a school called 'Londonderry in Harrisburg. Well LP is giving that school a run for its money.)

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.
