Chicago Magazine has named D102’s Ogden Avenue number 36 in its list of the top 100 elementary and junior high schools in Cook County! Schools were ranked based on various criteria, including testing scores, IAR growth, and the 5Essentials survey, with data provided by the Illinois State Board of Education.
D102 continues to greatly impact the community and its students. Our schools are getting noticed, too. In September, the Superintendent of the Illinois Board of Education visited La Grange D102 and toured our schools to learn more about our innovative programs, engaging classrooms, and the incredible work happening every day. This visit came shortly after Park Jr. High was named one of Illinois's top 20 middle schools by US News and World Report.
This impressive work is guided by our D102 Strategic Plan, a vision crafted with the help of over 100 community members and approved by our Board in May 2024. We have been working diligently to achieve the goals in all six areas of the plan.
