The school is such a wonderful close knit community - just like a big family!
—Submitted by a parent


Posted April 25, 2010

The community in which the school resides in is very proactive in helping the children. The parents and staff of the school have good help and have over the years help many families in different ways from, when a parent or staff member is sick, when house has fire,helping other schools across the counry and world,collecting for causes such as Support our Troops and local charties. These are just few of the things that make Butterfield a great school for children to attend.Also I'm very proud to be part of this great school community.

The school generally has small class sizes and the teachers are actively involved with keeping the parents informed of what is going on in their classroom and with their child.

Since thisis a small school, the teachers are on top of the students. Discipline, problems and/or learning disabilities are handled quickly and efficiently. The principal and teachers ahve become part of my family. I am so happy we found this school.

The teachers and curriculum are very challenging and my child was able to excel there. They have a great arts program. There was never a lack of volunteers.

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.
