Our History
our beginnings
On November 4, 1997, the taxpayers of
McLean County Unit District No. 5 passed a $26 million
dollar referendum, which included the construction of a new
elementary school, later named Prairieland.
Construction lasted fourteen months,
cost more than $5 million, and was completed in August of
1999. The building is located at 1300 East Raab Road in
north Normal, Illinois and is defined as a "quad," meaning
there are generally four classrooms at each grade level.
Prairieland houses Kindergarten through
Fifth grade students, as well as the Cognitively Impaired
and Early Intervention special education programs.
Enrollment figures typically
fluctuate between 525 and 575 students. The attendance areas
served by Prairieland include 617, 621 and 710 W. Orlando,
Carriage Hills, Pheasant Ridge, Beacon Hill, Tramore,
Pinehurst, Pine Meadows, Aspen Trails, Ironwood, and
Wintergreen.
