Many Illinois school districts sit on the state’s academic monitoring list, meaning that the schools are not showing sufficient progress under the federal No Child Left Behind Law. Some districts are closing down schools, partly because they are not making academic progress, and even fewer districts are opening new schools. However, according to a recent article on BeaconNewsOnline.com, the Yorkville School District has been cited by the state as showing significant academic improvements! State School Superintendent Christopher Koch contributes further with the following quote in regards to the increasing NCLB performance targets;

“These schools and districts are making significant improvement and this accomplishment is even more noteworthy given the various performance targets that continue to increase each year.”

The new K-6 Autumn Creek Elementary School will be opening this Fall! The state-of-the-art facility will provide top of the line education for Pulte Homes’ Autumn Creek residents, and is within walking distance. The great thing is that the school will stabilize the community’s children from having jump around from school-to-school as Yorkville continues to grow and redraw its boundaries.

As for older students, Yorkville High School and Yorkville Middle School are only a few miles from Autumn Creek. This assures that students will remain with their peers when they move up to the next stage of education. The combined campus these schools share was remodeled in 2000 and feature well maintained sport fields, community center, new middle school facilities, and an addition to the 35,000-square-foot library.

Yorkville is giving students of all ages the educational advantage with its new elementary school, convenient locations and district-wide enhancements. Be sure to visit Autumn Creek in person and online and see why it’s a smart move for you.
