Exemplary school, great staff, great teachers, when learning is fun, and test scores are great, sooooo recommended !!!!!.

PH is a really great school because of the teamwork between the administration, the teachers and the parents. A relationship with a teacher is SOOOO subjective, so it's difficult to rate "teachers" as a whole, but our experience has been nothing but positive here. The diversity is so great, with the kids being exposed to people from all over the world. Parent involvement is high and really provides support for both classroom and extracurricular activities. When test scores are great, when learning is fun, when your kids love to go to school, it really can't get better than that.

i believe that PH is an exemplary school, all the teachers and faculty members are enthusiastisc and make students want to suceed. The school has a lot more club options than most elementary schools and this is great because kids can get exposed to new things at a younger age..

We moved to Palatine for the schools and specifically for Pleasant Hill. This is an outstanding school with enthusiastic teachers and principal. It's a wonderful community area that surrounds the school and many events to get the entire family involved with the school.

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.
