my three siblings and myself graduated from the 'old' Lion's Park, while my parents were both highly invested in the school's PTA and other activities. I made friends from this school that I still keep in contact with to this day. Most importantly, they helped me deal with a physical disability when this was uncommon occurance in a public school.

Excellent teachers and great programs like the Green Team for environmental issues and saving the planet. They put the students first and foremost.

I've never been disappointed with one of my child's teachers. Every single faculty member goes out of their way to add to the children's experience in elementary school. Because of their efforts, our children are afforded every opportunity to excel, and they do!

This school and it's teachers are wonderful. They have many programs and dedicated teachers and both of my children love going to school there. It was great when I was growing up in this neighborhood and it continues to be a wonderful learning environment for my kids!

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.
