River Trails School District 26

Three schools in River Trails School District 26 received “commendable” designations in the state report card released Thursday by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). Euclid Elementary School, Indian Grove Elementary School and River Trails Middle School were placed into the second tier of summative designations. The district’s fourth school, Prairie Trails, did not receive a designation based on its status as an early learning center. The Illinois Report Card is released annually by ISBE and exhibits how schools and districts are progressing on a wide range of educational goals. A variety of metrics are used for this assessment, including student performance, growth and attendance. This is the fifth consecutive report card since 2018, when ISBE began offering summative designations, in which the three schools have been labeled as “commendable.” Please join us in congratulating everyone on this remarkable achievement!

We usually don't like seeing snow plows in October, but when one of our Prairie Trails Chipmunks is arriving to school in one, we can't help but get excited. Thank you so much to Mount Prospect Public Works Department for providing the ride, and for answering all the questions about what they do!
