Evergreen Park School District 124 has established procedures for considering acceleration and early entrance.  The decision for a child to enter school early can have a profound effect on his or her academic and social performance for the remainder of the child’s school career. Because of this, the criteria are very rigorous.  The goal is to ensure that children are successful and not frustrated by the challenges that these decisions might have.

The following categories are addressed through the Acceleration Placement Act;  

• Early Entrance into Kindergarten

• Early Entrance into 1st Grade

• Subject Level Acceleration

• Whole Grade Level Acceleration
