Pledge Drive Results are In!
We have cause for celebration: we've raised $291,421 for Alcott! That’s 83% of the way there! The highlights thus far:
● Gifts this year per student ranged from $20 to $5,000! Families from PreK through 8th grade participated in ways that were meaningful to them – at all levels – contributing to the overall success of the Pledge Drive.
● Kindergarten had the highest participation percentage, at 69.6%, and raised a whopping $39,555. 6th grade was not far behind!
● A significant number of families pledged the suggested $1,500 donation for each of their children at the school.
● A number of families were able to leverage their company matches. Whether you have already donated or are planning to now, we encourage you to explore the possibility of corporate matches with your employer.
It's not too late to donate!
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!
