Posted July 22, 2012

My daughter will be in 3rd grade this 2012-2013 school year. She loves the TPI program and she has learned very well and very quickly on everything. She has been here since Kindergarten and her teachers have a very high knowledge of the subjects they teach. My son has been here since Kindergarten as well and will be a 1st grader this year. He had no knowledge of the reading concept in the beginning but knew how the letters of the alphabet sound like, but by the end of the year in Kindergarten, he has been able to read books that are 1st-2nd grade level and loves to read in his spare time. He is also in the TPI program. I am very pleased with the teachers and tutors. Great job and keep it up! My kids are appreciating you all!

I felt like the neighbord was too dangerous to have a open playground and the school was real run down! It seemed like the secretary was running the school and overall it felt unsafe to me and I noticed alot of parents transferred their kids to a different school. My son told me he did not want to go to school there.

I think this is a great school, because my son is doing better than he has ever done. My son is in second grade and he loves going to school and loves his teachers, until he started at Kishwaukee I had a hard time getting him to focus and behave but now I cant ask for anything better.

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.
