We have a a child with intensive special needs so our perspective is different - they have very little experience with assistive technology - they are trying to lears, but they need to invest much more in time and personnel to get with it. The teachers care but are not given the opportunity to be trained properly, and are not given the man hour support to develop programs for inclusion for my son. It comes from the district, not the school.

I had to move within the last year and when I did I made sure that my son would be able to stay at Westwood. The school and staff are wonderful!

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.
