KANKAKEE AREA CO-OP DAY SCHOOL

Kankakee Area Co-Op Day School is a public elementary school that is part of the Kankakee Area Spec Educ Coop school district, located in Kankakee, IL with about 2 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 5th Grade. With about 3 teachers, Kankakee Area Co-Op Day School has a student/teacher ratio of about 0:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Kankakee Area Co-Op Day School, located at 1 Stuart Drive in Kankakee, Illinois, operates as a specialized educational facility designed to serve students with unique behavioral, social, or emotional needs that may not be fully met in a traditional general education environment. Functioning as part of a cooperative special education framework, the school provides a highly structured and supportive atmosphere where students receive individualized attention. The goal of the program is to foster academic progress while simultaneously equipping students with the necessary coping skills and behavioral strategies to succeed.

Beyond academics, the school emphasizes a therapeutic approach to learning, often integrating counseling services and individualized education programs (IEPs) tailored to each student's specific requirements. By maintaining small class sizes and a focused curriculum, the Kankakee Area Co-Op Day School aims to remove barriers to education, helping students stabilize their behavioral growth and eventually transition back to their home school districts or move toward post-secondary goals. The facility serves as a vital resource for the local community, ensuring that students requiring extra support have access to a safe and nurturing learning environment.
