Because they really get involved in the kid's learning and personally care about their development. They are always doing things within the community to make it better.

District 103 has more then you would ever imagine from a public school. They are comparitivly like a private school. It doesn't get any better then this for public schooling. They teach with inspiration, they listen when needed, and promote educating the kids outside of the classroom. What more could a parent ask for. This is an excellant school district to be a part of. It is what makes others in the area all desire and want to be a part of. Because it is so desireable, it makes housing very pricey. Consider yourself fortunate to be able to live within District 103's boundries!

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.
