This school is very good with helping students to become responsible individuals and making sure that the students help and do for themselves. My son is in 2nd grade and his teacher Miss Bell is the best!

I can't say enought good things about Aldrin. Their curriculum goes above and beyond standard teaching, the technology available to the students is exceptional and the staff is fantastic and caring.

I currently have 3 children attending this school and they all are at different levels of the spectrum. For any family that has a child that needs extra help this is the school for you. They are great a giving one on one attention and helping the kids where thy need it most.

I really love this school. I am new to the area, moving from Virgina Beach Virginia. The Principal, Teachers and Students were very warm and welcoming. I was extremely excited about the children having their very own lap tops. The school isn't very small but with the personal attention they give, you feel as though your child is the only one there. Thanks again Aldrin for making our transition an easy one.

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.
