Worst school I have ever encountered in my life. Unresponsive to questions. The teachers are unfriendly, the office staff is rude and the principal is a bully. I would strongly suggest if you are thinking about sending your child here that you rethink your choice.

Yes, the teachers are young but NOT inexperienced; most of them have graduate degrees or are in the process of getting them. In my opinion, the school fosters a very good environment of cooperation and encourages parent involvement.

My daughter has been going to Jane Stenson for a while now and I really like it. The staff is extremely friendly both in person and over the phone. The security is good. No one can just come and out when they want. The teachers are quick to respond to you both by phone or email. They become available when the parent is available. All I can say is nice things about this school. I would recommend this school if you live in the district.

I'm happy to have my daughter in Jane Stenson. The school is really really good. Teachers are very professional, very nice atmosphere, a lot of free after or before school activities.

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.
