What Alsip, Hazelgreen and Oaklawn Elementary School District 126 does

Alsip, Hazelgreen and Oak Lawn Elementary School District 126 is a public K-8 school district operating as a political subdivision of the State of Illinois, headquartered at 11900 S. Kostner Avenue in Alsip. The district serves approximately 1,600 students from PreK through 8th grade across five schools: Early Childhood Center (ages 3-5), three elementary schools (Hazelgreen, Lane, and Stony Creek), and Prairie Junior High (grades 7-8, 336 students). It maintains a 12:1 district-wide student-to-teacher ratio and is governed by an elected Board of Education.

The district's product offering is a comprehensive PreK-8 public education curriculum spanning core academics (literacy, mathematics, science, social studies), arts, music, PE/health, and social-emotional learning, with differentiated programs including a Two Way Immersion Spanish-English dual language track at Stony Creek Elementary, special education services delivered through the Eisenhower Cooperative, and ESL/bilingual support across six languages. Technology infrastructure consists of third-party SaaS platforms: Google Apps for Education for classroom and e-learning, Skyward Qmlativ as the student information system, ParentSquare for family communication, Clever as a single sign-on portal, and RevTrak for fee payments. The district is FERPA- and WCAG 2.0-compliant.

The business model is tax-funded public education with negligible direct commercial revenue. Primary funding flows from local property taxes, Illinois state education aid, and federal grants, supplemented by modest annual student fees (e.g., $42 Prairie Jr. High materials fee, $20 gym suit, $15 heart rate monitor, $10 locks, $40 literacy fees, $20 optional laptop insurance) collected via RevTrak. Go-to-market is enrollment-based: students are assigned to schools by residential address through an attendance zone system, with optional open enrollment for non-residents. Revenue, headcount, and financial statements are not publicly disclosed in the input data.
