Alcott Designated EXEMPLARY!

The Every Student Succeeds Act requires states to annually assess the performance of public elementary and secondary schools. This year, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) released 2024 Illinois Report Cards for all schools.

The designations describe schools excelling across various academic and student success indicators and identify schools requiring support and improvement. Alcott's 2024 Annual Summative Designation is again EXEMPLARY, acknowledging the top-performing 10% of schools in Illinois. We are pleased to report that this is the highest level of designation a school can receive, and Alcott has received it three years  in a row now!

FOA Events 2025/26

Please note: this is the tentative calendar planned at the beginning of the school year and we do our best to adhere to it, but occasionally administration will need to change dates to better accommodate school programming. Check back often for any changes. Additionally, you can import Alcott events straight to your calendar on AlcottElementary.net (click on the small download icon).

Classroom parties are planned separately by teachers, please contact your room parent for details.
