Because the teachers & faculty are Top Notch!
—Submitted by a parent


Posted April 26, 2010

I went to Hale. My sister went to Hale. My brother went there, and now my daughter goes there. This school is phenomenal! The staff is exceptional at team-building, and For generations the students have experienced a great sense of camaraderie and built life-long friendships that originated at this school. There is a wonderful 'workstation' learning system in place for some classes. The student to teacher ratio is ideal, and each student gets a great deal of personal attention. I feel extremely fortunate to have my child enrolled in such a wonderful learning facility, and I hope that during this time of 'Change', nothing changes at Hale because I'd love for my Grandchildren to experience learning the same way the rest of the family has at Hale.

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.
