I love this school. Moved here 2 years ago, and enjoy this school and the District it is in. Have been in the District for 10 years. Columbus Manor has wonderful teachers, and great programs. Lot's of smiles here:).

I think Columbus Manor is a good school and both my boys like going there and they like their school and all the after or before things they get to do after like the Ranger club they can not wait for the to come every week. My problem is they do not have enough to help with children that are having problems in reading such as my son. I truly believe we need this at our school for all the children that need some extra help or maybe even a class after school to help them instead of having them move to another school when they go to another grade level. I have to make a decision as to do I move my one son out of Columbus Manor so he can be in a smaller class to help him. We are all very upset and not sure what to do

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.
