Area Schools Struggle With New Standards
A recent amendment to the federal “No Child Left Behind” program is just the latest hurdle school districts all over the Northwest suburbs will attempt to clear in their battle with keeping their students on track. The amendment now demands all students to be tested in all subjects, regardless of their level of English. Before, school districts were allowed to give their students an alternative test called IMAGE.
Now every student who has been enrolled in school since last May will be asked to take the ISAT standardized test. With a vast population of non-English speaking students, school districts like Prospect Heights Elementary Dist. 23 are trying their best to prepare students for these assessment exams.
