Obviously, times at Glen City school have changed. I attended there in the early 60's & was a wonderful school, with caring, friendly, fun teachers! I remember them all by name & sight.: K: Mrs. Stuber 1st: Mrs. Lee/ Poterfield 2nd: Mrs. Weaverling 3rd: Mrs. Reisman I know this site is about today's children, but it's sad to see 2 poor ratings, when I have nothing but fond memories of going there. They taught, not only by the book, but there was a lot of participatory teaching as well. We made fresh butter, had field trips, we had many hands on sessions for crafts, holidays, etc. Glen City, I miss you, old friend.....

The previous review is clearly from someone who has not not researched thoroughly. A recent talk with SPHS teachers indicated that Isbell students are more knowledgeable than students from other surrounding middle schools, overall. This was particularly true in math and science. Isbell's new principal, George Alessi, has turned the school in the right direction. Students are very well behaved as evidenced by a national CHAMPS trainers comments after a recent visit. Work production is closely monitored by teachers and the expectation is that ALL work will be completed to a high quality. I am very happy with my child attending Isbell. Teachers are competent and caring and have good interpersonal relationships with the students. The school is a happy place where high quality learning takes place. Parents need to support their community school and ensure they are part of the solution and not part of the problem.
