great teachers and staff -- caring atmosphere


Posted November 3, 2009

Love the teachers and the support we've received for our boys. Building great relationships to last forever!

Posted July 22, 2008

My oldest daughter went to Bloom kindergarten through 5th and my middle daughter went kindergarten through 3rd. Every year was excellent. Teachers and administrative staff worked well with parents and treated children like family. This is a great school!

This is a very wonderful school. The teachers are brilliant, and care for all of their students. My daughter has grown so much here, and ended her first grade year reading at a fourth grade reading level. My son will begin kindergarden this year, and I look forward to watching his accomplishments. Mrs. Gentry, the principal, has done a fantastic job, and has a great eye for what the children need for a successful education.

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.
