THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION FACILITY WITH A SUPERIOR STAFF! TOP NOTCH STAFF! WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!


Posted September 8, 2011

School rating is very low, the teachers the principal are not covering the material they should be. All kids are below average. And when parents try to get involved as for more homework so at least we can do more at home they get angry

It is a small setting. Teachers and staff do the best job of reaching every student in the building. You can just tell the kids love to be there!

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.
