The quality of academic performance is above average. Sports and any activities are available at this school. Aproximatelly 70 % of parent involvement.

Olson school is pretty good overall, but the building itself needs to be improved on. The teachers are great, execpt the few who need to think about retiring. The principal is great!

The current administration does a phenomenal job in keeping their fingers on the pulse of this school. As with all schools, you have some great teachers who perform above and beyond their call of duty and you also have those that should have retired years ago. Olson has provided a quality education, but, as with most District 200 schools, the focus is on the under acheivers. Little opportunity is available or stressed for the gifted generation. All in all, I have enjoyed and utilized the open-door policy. Recommendation: Become an aware parent and volunteer! Get to know your administration and other parents!

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.
