Lake Villa, Illinois, is served by more than one public school district. Many addresses are served by Lake Villa District 41 for elementary and middle school and Community High School District 117 for high school, but assignments vary by property. Confirm the assigned schools directly with each district before relying on information in a real estate listing.
Which School Districts Serve Lake Villa, Illinois?
School assignments in Lake Villa depend on the location of the individual property. Buyers and residents should not assume that every home with a Lake Villa address is served by the same elementary, middle, or high school.
The Village of Lake Villa identifies Lake Villa Community Consolidated School District 41, Antioch Community Consolidated School District 34, Community High School District 117, and Grayslake Community High School District 127 among the public school districts associated with the community.
A Lake Villa mailing address does not always mean that a property is located within the incorporated Village of Lake Villa. Properties outside the village boundaries may have different school assignments.
Lake Villa Community Consolidated School District 41
Lake Villa Community Consolidated School District 41 serves students from early childhood through eighth grade.
The district operates:
Hooper Elementary School
Martin Elementary School
Thompson Elementary School
Peter J. Palombi Middle School
According to the district’s current website, District 41 serves approximately 2,400 students. Because enrollment, building use, and attendance assignments may change, readers should confirm current information directly with the district.
Community High School District 117
Community High School District 117 serves portions of Antioch, Lake Villa, Lindenhurst, and Old Mill Creek.
The district operates:
Antioch Community High School
Lakes Community High School is located at 1600 Eagle Way in Lake Villa and serves grades 9 through 12. The assigned District 117 high school depends on the property’s location.
District 117 provides an official boundary map that allows users to enter an address and review the applicable high school assignment.
Other Districts That May Serve a Lake Villa Address
Some properties with a Lake Villa mailing address may be served by a district other than District 41 or District 117.
The applicable district can depend on:
Whether the property is inside the incorporated village
The property’s elementary school boundary
The property’s high school boundary
Changes adopted by a school district
The exact parcel or street address
Do not rely only on the city name in a postal address when researching schools.
How to Verify the Assigned School for a Property
The most reliable way to confirm a school assignment is to contact the appropriate school districts directly.
Before relying on school information connected to a property:
Enter the exact address in an official district boundary tool, when available.
Contact the elementary and high school districts separately.
Ask whether the address is currently eligible for transportation.
Confirm the registration process and required residency documents.
Ask whether any boundary changes have been approved or proposed.
Save written confirmation when school assignment is an important part of the purchase decision.
School data displayed in a real estate listing may come from a third-party source and should not be considered an official assignment.
How to Research Illinois Public Schools
The Illinois Report Card is the state’s official public source for information about Illinois schools and school districts.
It provides information such as:
Enrollment
Academic indicators
Student attendance
Graduation data
Educator information
School environment information
District finances
State designations
The information should be used as one research resource. Real estate professionals should not rank schools or tell buyers which school or district is best for them.
Buyers and residents can also visit district websites, contact school administrators, and review official state data to determine which information is most relevant to their needs.
Questions to Ask Before Enrolling
Consider asking the appropriate district:
Which elementary school serves this address?
Which middle school serves this address?
Which high school serves this address?
Is transportation available?
What documents are required for registration?
Are there registration deadlines?
Are any attendance-boundary changes planned?
Where can current calendars and school contact information be found?
Broker Insights
School information shown in property listings is useful as a starting point, but it is not a substitute for confirmation from the school district.
The Star Home Team can help buyers locate publicly available district and boundary resources associated with a property. Buyers should confirm the official assignment directly with the applicable district and evaluate educational information according to their own needs and priorities.
Buyers may also consider price range, property features, taxes, transportation, commute, and access to local services when comparing homes.
