The Cowden-Herrick Elementary School is proud to announce that we have earned the EXEMPLARY designation from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE)! This is the highest level of recognition a school can receive under Illinois' accountability system. The designation reflects our overall performance across multiple measures of student success, including academic achievement, student growth, attendance, and other important indicators of school performance. Rather than looking at test scores alone, ISBE considers a more comprehensive picture of how schools are meeting the needs of their students and supporting their success. This recognition is a tremendous accomplishment and reflects the dedication of our teachers and staff, the hard work of our students, the support of our families, and the partnership of our community. We are incredibly proud of the progress we continue to make and remain committed to providing the best educational opportunities for every Bobcat. Thank you for being part of what makes Cowden-Herrick Elementary a great place to be! We are Bobcat Proud!
