Navajo is a great school because it teaches smart children while playing.p

We are a small school but with an outstanding faculty and a great group of kids. The staff works diligently to meet every students needs, and they are the #1 priority in the community.

Great kids, parents and staff!


Posted September 27, 2009

The teaching, the staff, and just the all around atmosphere was an amazing place to grow up in. I never had to worry about anything, there was always someone there to help me when I needed, and every teacher there, went above and beyond the call of duty, staying after hours to help students, having different helping activities, and providing an amazing place for education. I will give a lot of credit to Navajo for making me who I am today, providing me with my excellent habits, and all around great lifestyle. It is a truly gifted center for any student who attends it.

I am so pleased with my son's progress this year. It was his first year at Navajo after transferring there from St. Al's. He enjoyed school more and his grades were much better due to the extra time and help he received. Miss Freeman was sooooo good, and her patience allowed him to make significant strides in his education. Thanks, Greg Franke

My daughter was given a good solid education at Navajo. The school prepared her for jr. high and the teacher/student ratio and pretty low. I really liked Navajo.

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.
