Elverado Intermediate School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Elverado CUSD 196 school district, located in Vergennes, IL with about 95 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
