The principal at this school is a tough educator with a heart of gold. Any time a parent wishes to meet with her, she will accommodate them. She listens intently and works with you to fix whatever the problem might be. I'm pretty sure that she knows every child in school by his/her first name! She is very involved, and the teachers know who is the boss. Nothing escapes her. There are many excellent educators at this school, most of whom my daughter has had. This is a terrific school. There are also plenty of extracurricular activities to involve your child in. My daughter has a teacher now that we are trying to get a Golden Apple for!

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.
