This school is trying its hardest to help the students improve achievement. While participation from the teachers isn't the greatest, neither is the participation from the families. This school really cares about its students.

Most children are instructed below-grade level and teachers are not provided with necessary teaching tools. Discipline and structure are lax. Although there are some good teachers here, the over-all quality of instruction is poor. Children who leave to attend public education find themselves well below level and many are retained or put in remedial courses.Priorities are not uniform and too much time is spent off task in some classrooms.Teachers cannot meet the real needs of the children. This is not a school for any child seeking to advance his academics.

This is a very nice school for the neighborhood. I would have liked to have more events planned to get to know the teachers. I thought that it was great that there was a pet rabbit that all of the students knew. Apparently he would visit different classes on different days.

i think the bi-lingual classes are a joke...these children should be speaking english before being allowed to enroll..it creates split grade classes and overcrowding.

This school has been a big disappointment. It is probably fine for most kids but our second grader needs accelerated learning opportunities which have not been available.

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.
