I know you might think i'm saying bad things about the school cuz i used to go there, but your children will have an un pleasent expirience in this school distrect in general because of the increasing city growth there is a crazy shcool system your child will have to go to go to 1 of 3 grade schools after this that teaches grades 4-6 which slits up alot of friends and then go to 1 middle school that teaches grades 7-8 instead of 6-8, and then onto the freshman only buliding, then a 10-12 grade highschool your children will have to move around schools alot and it may/will be an unpleasent expirience for your child.

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.
