There is teachers at this school with bad morals which are passed on to the children they teach. Too often teachers go into this profession because they are excited to have the summers off, but unfortunately our children suffer. The one specific teacher I have in mind is dishonest and she has no moral integrity are these the type of people we want teaching our children.

Because going to school there and she is an "A" student, her teachers has found her weak point and turned in to a strong point. The teachers and the principal Mr. Goldberg takes time with the students. My child loves this school she help them put a large thophy in the hall case Volleyball for the girls teams. Frost is a great school.

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.
