Beebe is an excellent school! Superior teachers and administration, involved parent community, many enrichment programs, wide diversity of students. Class size is large, yet this hasn't prevented either of my kids from getting a superior elementary education! A big plus is the Dual Language program - very similar to a language immersion program (students who participate are chosen by a lottery).

Beebe is a wonderful school. The teachers are dedicated and caring individuals. My third child just started at Beebe this year and loves it! My kids always have great things to say when they get home. I am confident my children are getting a solid education at Beebe. Go bobcats!

Was so severly dissapointed with this school. K and 2nd grade were throw away years. How bad is it when you provide more content at home than comes from school! Only sunshine was the first grade teacher. Enrichment is 15minutes per week. Teachers look upon differentiated learning as a foreign concept. We pulled our kids for a private school. It's the best thing we could have done

One of the lowest achieving schools in Dist. 203. Poor administrative leadership, staff morale appears low, and sadly, the kids suffer for all of this. Many low income students attend this school, and the district needs to cater to them to raise test scores. If your child's achievement level is average or above, they will be on their own here. Staff and administration are also lax with school safety . . .not a great learning environment for any child.

This school has a wonderful program for special needs children. My daughter is very happy, and has vastly improved her social skills, as well as feeling like a part of the community.

My daughter is the third child that has gone through Beebe and I feel it has lost a little through the years. In increasing the security of the school it has lost its elementary feel. My daughter has notice that it is now has a more clinical feel instead of the warm feeling she use to get at Beebe. The teachers are top notch!!!! I just wish they would return to the warm child friendly school the use to be. The principals are no longer visible every day to the students and I feel that should be corrected.

From the moment you walk in, you are swept up in the PAWS spirit! The staff is top-notch and always willing to go the extra mile to help a child succeed.

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.
