Evergreen Park School District 124

What Evergreen Park School District 124 does

Evergreen Park Elementary School District 124 is a public PreK-8 school district serving approximately 1,800 resident students in the Village of Evergreen Park, Illinois, governed by an elected seven-member Board of Education and funded primarily through local property taxes, state evidence-based funding, and federal grants. The district operates four elementary schools (Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, each serving grades K-5 with PreK at two sites) configured one per village quadrant, and one Central Middle School serving grades 6-8, producing a near-monopoly on in-boundary public schooling.

The district's technology stack is built on standard consumer-grade ed-tech rather than proprietary systems: PowerSchool for enrollment and student information (with CLEAR Batch residency verification), Seesaw for grades K-1, Google Classroom for grades 2-8, Zoom and Google Meet for virtual instruction, Clever for single sign-on, and a One-to-One device program (iPads K-2, Chromebooks 3-8). Specialized instructional offerings include Project TREE gifted education with Honors Algebra in 8th grade, a TBE/Bilingual Spanish-English program at Northeast School, social-emotional learning via the Second Step curriculum, and PBIS systems recognized by the Midwest PBIS Network (Gold at four schools, Platinum at Southeast).

Go-to-market is statutory rather than commercial: enrollment requires verified residency and runs through an annual PowerSchool process, with supplemental reach via the District's Finalsite website, School Messenger notifications, social media channels, bi-weekly E-Newsletter, printed Perspective Newsletter, and the monthly #WeConnect webinar series. Revenue is generated non-commercially through the tax base, with minor ancillary streams from Extended Day childcare, Community Education programming (free/nominal-fee CPR, cooking, art, and English classes), and fundraising through the D124 Education Foundation. Award recognition, including Horizon School to Watch (2015-16), Golden Apple Finalist (2025), and ISBE Award of Excellence (2026), functions as reputation and talent-acquisition capital rather than revenue.
