About the company
School Dist 161 Creston, doing business as Creston Grade School, is a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Creston, Illinois that receives federal formula grants for rural K–12 education as a prime grant recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district operates as a recipient of federal education funding rather than as a federal contractor; it does not hold contracts or IDVs and does not compete for federal procurement.
Creston Grade School's federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA program designation not provided in source), a formula grant vehicle through which the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has funded the district annually since 2007. The district holds five prime grant awards spanning the last five fiscal years — awards dated July 1, 2022, July 1, 2023, July 1, 2024, July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026, each carrying a September 30 completion date and totaling approximately $411 thousand in combined dollars obligated across all twenty awards in the source dataset. The district also receives sub-award funding routed through the Illinois State Board of Education, with sub-awards dated September 3, 2026 and September 18, 2025 designated to fund student educational activities, materials, and equipment for at-risk students.
The district's customer concentration is singular — the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 100% of all awards, with twenty total awards held over the observation period. Activity has been flat at one award per year from 2022 through 2024, followed by two awards in 2025 and one in 2026. One award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (the Small, Rural School Achievement Program award of July 1, 2025, due to complete September 30, 2026). The district does not appear as a subcontractor on other federal awards and does not partner with prime contractors as a supply-chain participant. Creston Grade School operates as a direct grant recipient only, drawing federal formula funding for rural school operations rather than pursuing federal contracts or serving as a sub-recipient within a broader federal procurement ecosystem.
