i went there in 3rd grade and i loved it !!! :))) The teachers were great! I made a lot of friends and every one was so friendly!

Both of my children currently attend this school. We could not have hand picked a better school. The staff is fantastic-completely dedicated to the students. A wonderful atmosphere for children to learn. The principal has always had an open door policy. He is a great leader who has taught the students character counts and has brought a real sense of school spirit. He also knows every family by name. Wiesbrook also has a very strong PTA. We are thrilled with the education our children are receiving.

Great school by any measure. Definitely 5 stars. The culture/atmosphere is that the children are a little more rowdy than another elementary school in the same district I am familiar with. Not badly behaved, you must understand, just louder and more exuberant.

We moved from Glen Ellyn to Wheaton, they didn't miss a beat. Both of our children have gone to Weisbrook Elementary since they were 8 years old and 10 years old. Weisbrook Elementary is a school where the children come first. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best without being labeled as the smart or dumb kids. The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child. Thank you Wiesbrook Elementary for bringing out the best in my children and giving them the encouragement and confidence they need to go out into the world! One is now in High School Honor Roll doing fantastic and the other is in the 7th grade with High Honors, Wiesbrook is the best of the best.

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.
