The area, not just the school
Farragut sits in the heart of Little Village, the neighborhood within Chicago's South Lawndale community area often called the Mexico of the Midwest. More than 80 percent of residents are of Mexican descent, and the area is home to one of the largest Mexican communities in the city, giving its streets, restaurants, and shops a vibrant, family-centered character.
The neighborhood's spine is the 26th Street commercial corridor, marked by the iconic La Villita arch. It is one of Chicago's most productive retail districts, long ranked among the highest-grossing shopping streets in the city, and every September it hosts one of Chicago's largest Mexican Independence Day parades.
Getting around is easy on the CTA Pink Line, which runs elevated through Little Village with stops including California and Kedzie before continuing to the Loop. Housing here leans toward classic Chicago two-flats and bungalows on tree-lined residential streets, and residents enjoy green space at neighborhood parks such as Piotrowski Park and nearby Douglass Park on the boulevard system. For buyers, it is one of the more attainable and culturally rich pockets of the near West Side.

About David Farragut Career Academy
Farragut opened on September 4, 1894 as a primary school in South Lawndale, named by the Chicago Board of Education for Admiral David Farragut. Overcrowding on the growing Southwest Side led to a high-school addition that opened in 1909, when the school began pairing academic study with early work-study and vocational programs tied to local employers. Over the following century the surrounding community shifted from Eastern European to African American and, today, predominantly Mexican American, and the school evolved into the career academy it is now.
As a career academy, Farragut combines classroom instruction with work-study experiences and vocational, education-to-careers training. The school is also home to the General Patton JROTC program, which operates as a school-within-a-school.
Farragut competes in the Chicago Public League and is a member of the Illinois High School Association. Its teams are the Admirals, and the program is best known for boys basketball: Farragut won the Chicago Public League championship in 1994-95 with a team that featured future NBA players Kevin Garnett and Ronnie Fields.
