This has been a disaster from day one! I hope parents read this and try to move out of this district. The teacher has managed to bring out the worst in my child. She has been complaining about every little thing since day one. I am sorry we ever started our child in this school.

We are pulling out our kid, and I assume so will some other parents, because of failing grades (per the leave-no-child-behind rules) and district sitting on transfer requests submitted. Doing a class in a trailer not connected to main building (means kid getting wet in the rain or need-jackets in winter) is not a good aspect of a school - they were supposed to use these trailer only for music class etc. Teacher quality is also mixed - some classes run solely by temps and they teach no more than the most basic math and reading and do not regularly check home works. although we need to mention some teachers are still doing fabulous jobs in spite of all the odds.

3rd grades have to go thru 3 class rotation every day. This is great idea for older kids but surely not for 3rd graders ! This is causing just extra hassle and stress for the kids, am I going to be ready, am I late...questions like this in kids mind all the time! Also school lunch time is not well set up, kids eat they winter cloths on and food is not healthy, like fast food. We will seewhat kind of rating this school gets this year ...unfortunately I think it is going worst! We are planing to move just to get to the better school. Rotation must be nice for the teachers as they can only teach the subject they like the most, but should they think what is the best for the kids!? Please note! Principle changed this year. Several parents are saying the same.

My child is in Kindergarden at Lincoln. We are very pleased with the teacher. My child is starting to read and write. Overall the school atmosphere is good. The administrative part of the school seems a bit disorganized . Registration was a lot of chaos, parents waiting for hours in the main hallway, which was disappointing when enrolling your first kid in the school. Some of our documents got lost and had to be resubmitted. But so far we are happy with how my child is progressing academically which was concern for us putting a child in the elgin school district.

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.
