I have a 9 year old that goes to this school and he does not like who he has for a teacher. He gets up in front of the class and makes fun of the kids and gives them low self-esteem by yelling at them. And when it comes to helping the child he tells them they have to help themselves.

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.
