I think that this school gives the kids a higher sense of self esteem. They really encourage the kids and they get the help that they need if theya re lacking in any subject. My kids have had a great expierence at this school. The principal gives the kids huge encouragment.

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.
