Posted May 23, 2008

My daughter attended only her 5th grade here (due to the school reorganization). Like Eastlawn, it's another fine Rantoul City School. We were very pleased with her education at Northview.

My daughter attended Northview elementary K-5. The administrator, Mrs. Hinton is strict, fair, and caring. The peacebuilders program that is used as a citizenship/character builder provides an organized method of positive feedback for good behavior. Students are also rewarded for their academic performance by each teacher. Northview students have generally had the highest ISAT/STS test scores of the Rantoul City Schools. The Parent-Teacher Organization is active in fundraising, and school activities. Available sports are volleyball, basketball, and track.

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.
