The teachers and parents are very inolve. The ESL program it's great! The Secretarys are very friendly and helpful. Every time that I received my Daughter from the school she's happy.

The teachers are wonderful and the PTA and parents are extremely involved. The gifted (accelerated) program is outstanding and the teacher is highly dedicated and effective.

A very good school for the past few years. I hope they can continue with the new principal.

Awesome teachers and staff who really care about each and every student!

Support staff is excellent and teachers are good. As a parent and educator, I see the need for stronger leadership--teachers seem to have lots of leeway in how they can handle discipline problems and home work, so more consistency would make this an outstanding school.

This school is in District 57 and although ISAT scores are emphasized there is a lack of attention to children with learning disabilities. Inclusion is not embraced and instead self-contained special education classes are the preferred method of instruction for special needs children instead of inclusion.

It is a good elementary school Mt. Prospect. Staff is very friendly and number of parents help out with so many different activities. I would say quality of academic programs is good as well.

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.
