Posted March 3, 2005

I have one son in this school and no one knows what happens in the class rooms in front of the teacher! and the EXCUSE of 'I did not see that' is not a good one! when my son only sits a foot away from her. I think this school needs better teachers and better discipline in the school. Now my son don't want to go to school or wants to learn. He is not comfertable with the teacher or this school! so the question is are my kids safe at school! NO they are not when the teachers can't pay attention.

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.
