Manteno Elementary School is a school servicing a growing community in Kankakee County, IL. The village has a population of 9,300. 

The Elementary School provides education to students in preschool through fourth grade.  Approximately 120 three to five year old students attend our half day preschool program, which is funded in part by the Illinois Preschool for All grant.  In addition, Manteno has hosted a Headstart preschool program, which serves approximately 20 students.  This program is federally funded, and is administered through a cooperative agreement with Kankakee School District 111. 

Manteno Elementary School also serves approximately 700 students in grades kindergarten through four. Though interdisciplinary instruction occurs on a regular basis, our curriculum is based on a solid core of instruction in Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies.  Daily interventions outside of core instruction in Reading and Math are provided daily for students in need.  Physical Education, Art and Music are non-core instructional areas students participate in.  Our goal is to provide a good balance between academic rigor and social-emotional support in order to provide a complete education for our students.
