Living near Chicago Ag Sciences
The area, not just the school
The Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences sits in Mount Greenwood, about 14 miles southwest of the Loop, tucked into the far southwest corner of the city near the Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park borders. It is one of Chicago's quietest, most residential community areas, defined by tidy single-family homes on broad blocks and the kind of stability that is hard to find in a big city. Land use here is overwhelmingly single-family, most of it built between 1940 and 1970, and the homeownership rate runs near 87 percent, roughly double the citywide figure. This is a place where people put down roots and stay.
Mount Greenwood is famously home to a large share of Chicago's police officers, firefighters, and union tradespeople, which gives the area its steady, family-first, civic character. The main commercial spine runs along 111th Street, Saint Xavier University anchors the neighborhood alongside the ag high school, and Mount Greenwood Park offers a fieldhouse, a pool, and an ice rink. Most commuters drive, but the neighborhood sits close to Metra Rock Island District stations in neighboring Beverly and Morgan Park for a rail ride downtown. It is a genuine city-suburb: a Chicago address with a small-town feel.

The school
About Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences
Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences opened in August 1985 after Chicago Public Schools purchased the Ouwenga farm, the last working farm in the city, and built an experimental magnet high school devoted to agricultural science on the site at 111th and Pulaski. It was one of the first schools of its kind in the country, and today it occupies a 72-acre campus that still includes roughly 40 acres of working farmland.
The school is a citywide-enrollment magnet that pairs a college-preparatory program, including Advanced Placement courses, with hands-on agricultural science pathways and summer internships. Every student participates in the National FFA Organization, and the school has partnered with conservation programs that offer paid internships to selected students. Many graduates go on to study agricultural disciplines in college.
The Cyclones compete in the Chicago Public League and are a member of the IHSA. The school sponsors a broad slate of boys and girls sports and also fields athletes in the Special Olympics.
