My daughter is in the second grade, she loves the school and the teachers. I would not send her to another school. I love it alot. I love the small atmosphere and the more one on one with the chidren. Oakwood grade school is GREAT!

I student taught in this grade school. They had an outstanding science fair, with huge community involvement. There are a lot of opportunities, from my experience, for parents to get involved throughout the year. However, the small town atmosphere could be intimidating or judging of new families in town.

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.
